What are some good songs that would be good for a kindergarten teacher who is retiring?

Question

My son's kindergarten teacher is retiring after more than 30 years teaching kindergarten at the same school. We are all so sad to see her go, but I am making her a special gift- I am coming to class to take photographs of them doing all their regular stuff- she thinks it's only for his scrapbook and that I might make her a few copies- but I am actually making her a slideshow with them. I already know I will use Jack Johnson- "With My Own Two Hands", but I am looking for one more. I don't want it to be a SAD song because I really don't want her to get too overwhelmed. I am considering also getting as many of her former students as I possibly can find to maybe do some photos of as well, to include in the show. Her leaving is a HUGE loss to the school, and I am so sad because I have another kindergartener coming up next year and she won't be there.

Anyway- any suggestions would be great! Thank you.
