atta eagle award
It’s time for our Atta Eagle to make another flight
This time it comes to rest in the 8th-grade hall in plain sight.
This award goes to someone so sassy and fun
It goes to our very own Mrs. Rennebaum
Mrs. Rennebaum makes me laugh with her songs and her dance
Anyone who tries to compete with her doesn’t stand a chance.
She brings social studies to life for the young and the old
Each lesson taught is as good as gold.
As I pass out the Eagle to one of the best
I always enjoy hearing of your latest quest.
Enjoy the end of the year and do it with cheer
As we are finishing out another awesome year!!
I love you Mrs. Rennebaum!!
~ Mrs. Bonhomme
