Thank You Mr. D.

Thank You, Mr. Durrant

For thirty years our Mr. D.

Has taught at Huntington Elementary

He’s taught the grades from low to high

And watched as crowds of students went by

He’s bandaged hurts both big and small

And always helped us through it all

He pushes us to do our best

He knows that life is one big test

He’s taught our moms and dads its true

An aunt, an uncle, some cousins too

And through the years he’s shown such heart

In all our lives he’s played a big part

So thank you, Mr. Durrant, for your many years

Thanks for the laughter, for helping banish our fears

For teaching us how to treat others with care

For showing the way with such kindness to spare

You’ve helped make us who we are today

Your lessons and examples in our memory will stay

Know that in our hearts you’ll always be

Our one and only Mr. D.
