’Twas the night before hatch day, in classrooms so bright,
Not an egg was a-wobblin’, not even a peep in sight.
The incubators hummed with a soft, steady care,
Keeping future little chicks warm in there.

The students had learned of life cycles with glee,
From shell to small chick—what a wonder to see!
They candled the eggs and watched growth day by day,
Science and agriculture leading the way.

With lessons on farming and food that we share,
4-H sparked curiosity everywhere.
Responsibility, patience, and knowledge took wing,
As each tiny heartbeat meant more than one thing.

So here’s to tomorrow, to cracks and to cheeps,
To wide-eyed excitement that no one can keep!
From our Ag in the Classroom and 4-H crew,
Happy hatching— see you soon KND Public Schools ! 🐣
