To the tune of “Christmas in Killarney” – and yes, it’s a bit forced in places. I’m a math teacher, people.

The holly green

The ivy green

The bestest grade 10’s you’ve ever seen!

It’s Christmas time in Hanley,

When do we send these kids home?

They’re busy learning geometry and poems and novels and short stories

Gluing Industrial arts projects

And baking small gingerbread homes.

In gym they’re shooting baskets,

In science it’s Chemistry and Wildlife has them studying Lakes and fish and trees!

It hurts, you know,

To stub your toe

While trying to avoid the mistletoe

Why are there no kids named Stanley?

The likes you’ve never known….

It’s Christmas time in Hanley!

When do we send these kids home?!
