I was asked to write a piggyback song for the volunteer luncheon. I'm guessing most volunteers do pretty much the same kinds of things, so if this works for you, feel free. It's to be sung by 5th grade, so I couldn't include as much humor as I might otherwise.
Our Favorite Things
Popcorn and pickles and cookies on Fridays
Cooking with kinders who do it their own way
Cutting and pasting and drawing with ease
These are a few of our favorite things
Holiday parties and carnival hijinks
Offering spouses for moving and lifting
School store and front desk and book fair and more
These are a few of our favorite things
Helping with math facts and washing lost jackets
Reading in hallways and stapling packets
All that you do here makes us want to sing
These are a few of our favorite things
Treats for teachers
Smiling faces
You bring happiness
Because of your kindness our school has become
A place full of favorite things
