#6 A fun Christmas mes-
sage to the families of Huron
Centennial from the office.
'Twas the night before
Christmas, when all through
the school
Not a student was around,
they aren't a fool!
The lost and found was
hung by the office with care,
LET'S
ALL
DO OUR
PART!
PLEASE
RECYCLE
(I
In hopes that St. Nicholas
or a parent, soon would be
there;
The students and staff
were nestled all snug in their
beds,
While visions of holiday
fun danced in their heads;
And Mrs. Dolmage in her
Christmas sweater, and I in
my cap,
Had just settled down for a
long winter's nap.
When out in front of the
school there arose such a
clatter,
I sprang from the office to
see what was the matter.
Away to the front door I
flew like a flash,
Unset the alarm and threw
up the sash.
When, what to my won-
dering bifocals should
appear,
But a miniature school
bus and eight tiny reindeer,
With a wise old driver, so
popular and fun,
I knew in a moment it
must be bus one. More rapid
than eagles her coursers they
came,
And she whistled, and
shouted, and called them by
name; "Now, Dasher! now,
Dancer!
Now, Prancer and Vixen!
On Comet! On Cupid! on,
Donder and Blitzen!
To the end of the route, to
the homes of them all,
Lights on, stop sign out,
Dash away all!"
So up to the school roof
Nelly's bus flew,
With a sleigh full of iPads,
and St. Nicholas too.
And then, in the time of a
recess, I heard on the roof
The prancing and pawing
of each little hoof.
As I packed up my school
bag and was turning
around,
Down the hallway Mr.
Holland came with a bound.
He was dressed in his
splash pants, from his head
to his foot,
And unfortunately they
were all tarnished with mud
from yard duty in addition to
soot;
A bundle of snacks he had
flung on his back,
And he looked like Mrs.
Kager preparing Monday
snack.
His eyes — how friendly!
his cheeks how
merry! His knees felt like
he had fallen in roses after
doing Kindergarten gym, his
nose like
a cherry! His eyes were
twinkling with mischief,
And the students all
know; that means he is
likely to have a prank on
the go.
He had a partner with a lit-
tle round belly,
That shook, when he
laughed like a bowl of jelly.
It was St. Nick in his new
school hoodie, a right jolly
old elf,
And I laughed when I saw
him , in spite of myself;
A testing call on the walkie
and a twist of his head,

Soon gave me to know I
had nothing to dread;
He WALKED through the
halls, but went straight to his
work,
And filled all the back-
packs; then turned with a
jerk,
He remembered the staff -
room must have fresh bot-
tled water,
He me a wave and the
empty school a holler.
He sprang to the bus,
Nelly gave the team a
whistle,
And away they all flew like
the down of a thistle.
But I heard him send holi-
day wishes, ere he drove out
of sight,
"Happy Christmas Huron
Centennial, snow days are in
sight!"
Ay you be filled with the true spirit of
Christmas—its peace, its joy,
its love—and may the significance
of that first holy Christmas be
ever present in your heart.
