Vacation days at last are here,And we have time for fun so dear,All boys and girls do gladly cheer,This welcomed season of the year.In early June in school we’ll meet;A harder task shall we completeAnd if we fail we must repeatThat self same task without retreat.

We simply rest to come againTo school where boys and girls obtainThe Creator’s gift to menWhose sanguine hopes in us remain.Vacation means a time for playFor young and old in night and dayMy wish for all is to be gay,And evil none lead you astray

- Juan F. Salazar
