  1. It’s teachers t like you hat
    guide us with their thoughts
    and share their achievements
    and advise their faults

    They inspire us with a love
    Of knowledge and truth
    Which leads us through our youth

    Its our future that is enlightened
    with each lesson you teach
    Each smile that is brightened
    Each goal you help us reach

    For the guidance of each student
    Begins with a teacher
    And the wisdom they bring

  2. Showing the path, leading the way
    Giving a hand so you don't go astray
    Like Guardian Angels, or the stars above
    Lighting the way so you never get lost
    Around every bend, around every curve
    Getting you to be right where you deserve
    Helping to find the potential within...
    After years of traveling through the path, you look back and it is gone.
    But, the journey through the path stays with you...forever.

  3. We arrive to you as simply a seed,
    vacant of knowledge and fully in need.
    You water us daily,
    your direction you share.
    Guiding us for the future,
    for which we need to prepare.
    Throughout the years you help us to blossom,
    teaching us vital information and rules of thumb.
    Thank for the many ways you shape our lives,
    And the kindness you show for which all of us strives!

  4. A teacher is a guiding light
    When we are in our youth
    Someone who can mold our minds
    And always speaks the truth

    A teacher is a helping hand
    When things just don’t seem right
    Someone who always reaches out
    With a smile warm and bright

    A teacher is a special person
    Even though not always expressed,
    I’d like to thank you for the job you do
    And being better than the best
    -Erica Callahan

    they inspire us to secceeed,
    they help us through all the years
    and teach us to always try our best
    and even sometimes in the end, they become our friend.
