In boots or in Birks, through snow or through sun,

You wrangle small humans and somehow make it fun.

You teach them to read, to think, to behave—

All before you've had time to microwave lunch you half-saved.

You decode teen drama with Sherlock-like flair,

And find missing Chromebooks with psychic-level care.

From science to fractions to why not to eat glue—

There’s nothing our Durango teachers can’t do!

So here’s to your patience, your humor, your spark—

You’re lighting up minds like you’re striking a spark.

Though our budgets are tight, our thanks overflow—

You're the true mountain heroes we’re proud to know. 💙
