Goodbye and Thank You

Verse 1
You’ve helped us learn, you’ve helped us grow,
You’ve taught us things we need to know.
With every smile through highs and lows,
You’ve always kept us on our toes!

Chorus
Goodbye and thank you, we’ll miss you so,
We know today that it’s time for you to go.
A new adventure waits for you,
We wish you luck in all that you do.

Verse 2
You’ve taught us sums, you’ve taught us rhymes,
You’ve kept us learning all the time.
Exciting days, fun things to do,
We’ve learned so much it’s thanks to you!

Chorus

Verse 3
No lessons now, and no more tests,
It’s time to have a well-earned rest.
There’s no alarm to start your day,
And no more marking, shout hooray!

(Alternative Verse 3 for teacher leaving for another school)

Verse 3
A brand-new school, a brand-new chance,
To really make a difference,
Your time here’s been a real delight,
We know your future will be bright!

Chorus (twice)
