Heed our call!
Twas the night before Christmas and all through the land
Moabites slept sweetly, ‘cause they’d lent a hand.
Feeling lucky to live in a town so aware
That solves problems together with people who care
But our teachers weren’t so settled at home in their beds
Because a too common worry ran ‘round in their heads
The Superintendent in her Chacos and I in my boots,
Didn’t know what to do without enough substitutes
With so much to do, our focus was scattered
But we’d seen all year long, the weight of this matter
When our teachers were sick or even had a rash
They’d rise out of bed and get up and alas
With some gloom in their chest and their energy low
Right back to their classrooms our teachers would go
For if they were gone, if they must disappear
That meant their coworkers soon would appear
They’d fill in the hours and their skin would grow thick
Missing vacations, preps, and breaks is not a choice they would pick
With this problem grown large, it’s my cause to proclaim
And in wishful abandon I’ll call you by name:
Now grandpas and grandmas, concerned citizens, now retirees,
And pastors, ladies and gentlemen!
To the front of the class! Please, please, heed our call!
And Substitute! Substitute! Help us out y’all!
Right now our Grand County School District only has 3 substitutes for over 100 teachers! Give the gift of your time and make a huge difference for our school district! You can choose your preference of schools and set your own schedule. Even an afternoon, five or ten hours over a month would make an incredible impact.
