Songs For The Last Day Of School

As any classroom teacher can attest, the school year can be unbearably long. But there is a light at the end of the tunnel. And for many teachers (and students) in the area where I live, the last day of school has finally arrived. So count down those hours, wave goodbye to the kiddos, and let the celebration begin! And let these songs be the soundtrack for your day. Enjoy!  ~  JH
