As the new 1996-97 school year opens, we welcome you with a sampling of our students efforts and a challenge to complete the questions below.
The following writing pieces were taken from our award-winning 1995-96 school yearbook.
I am a dove of peace
I fly over the world
My feathers fall all over wars
and dark skies
to try to make light again
It doesn’t always work
and it takes time
But at least I try

People! Little objects with many emotions in a huge world full of
color and animals. Full of land and water and clouds as
white as snow.
Family! People who care and share. Help and love and teach.
People who play and protect. They whisper goodnight as
you lie upon your bed.
Kids! The people of the future who laugh and play. People who
learn to love and care. These kids are the families and
people of tomorrow.
