Goodbye Saint Brendan’s now I can stay home and pet my kitten,
Goodbye recess and running I do but now I can stay home and play Wii-U,
Goodbye fellow classmates bye to the ones that don’t like me but now I am free.
-Charles
Goodbye Saint Brendan’s through the halls,
from the clocks ticking and the bell ringing.
Goodbye Saint Brendan’s from teacher to teacher.
Goodbye to the squirrel stuck on the mouse trap that Mr,Puester smashed.
Goodbye to the lunch ladies telling us to be quiet.
Goodbye to the friends seen through the halls,
Goodbye to science, math, English, and writing,
Goodbye Saint Brendan’s from class to class forever and ever.
Saint Brendan School will be missed.
-Korbyn
It is the last year, the last day before we leave.
We shall say goodbye, some with happiness, some with sorrow.
Goodbye, library, and your memories of books, some adventures, some just a good bedtime story.
Goodbye middle school and elementary classrooms, you’ve taught more than you will ever guess.
Goodbye, gym, the activities you had brought ceaseless hours of fun.
Others may leave you with happiness, but I leave with happiness and sorrow.
Goodbye, familiar halls, I will have to navigate the unfamiliar terrain of the high school.
Wistfulness will be a familiar friend.
I must leave so I may grow,
So goodbye, St.Brendan’s School.
-Maria
As I run though the final bell I see the office I’ve come in late in
As I walk down I see the library
I smell the old books from many hands of reading.
I run down the hall seeing the work all the kids have done.
As I pass the kindergarten room,
I feel the warmth of the room and never the cold
As I run down the stairs I smell the basement’s smell seeping through the walls.
I run down the ramp I smell the smell of pizza cooking in the oven.
Running to the lunch table,
During lunch talking about days left,
Throwing away trays saying thank you and no thank you.
As packing up for the day we say
“ Goodbye math, goodbye English, goodbye science, goodbye p.e, goodbye uniforms,
Goodbye good school lunch, goodbye kids running to give hugs, goodbye teachers, goodbye Saint Brendan’s.”
