Graduating Class of 2009

The Tale of the Graduating Class of 2009

 

To the graduating class of 2009

Let’s reflect on this year; your memories and mine

 

I hope that you will remember 8^th grade well

Because we know there are many stories to tell

 

Sit-up, stop, look and listen as I try to remember

And tell a tale of class 2009 and each student member

 

Kyle with his quiet and ironic sense of humor stood out above the rest

Zorana showed us that no matter your size you can still be the best

 

The “triplets” and Justin ran the show

Desiree, Marisa and Reanna your beautiful faces and names I now know.

 

Reshawn learned quickly the books you read do not determine age

When designing the Yearbook Cover – Brook made that artistic page

 

Throughout the year J.T., Junior and Robert were inseparable

Just as Alysa and Nadya’s friendship was unbreakable

 

Jonnel was a late arrival but the way he fit in was impressive

Nina and Flora loved to be artistic and their work was very expressive

 

Devin and James liked to hum, sing and find the beats

While Jessica made others feel special by bringing sweet treats

 

Elia and Alysa became my personal stalkers

Donna Marie,  Lupe and Jackie were my 2^nd period talkers

 

Andre and Anthony always had a laugh and a smile

Raquel and Reigan made teaching worthwhile

 

Steven – the world traveler – will be remembered for his hair

Marco – the classroom traveler – often strayed from his chair

 

Elena is an insightful teenager who wrote about being a teen in an “A+” report

Back in December Emanuel played Santa was had fun while being a great sport

 

Ramndeep and Simran were always positive and enthusiastic

And I must say that Joshua’s clothing style was just plain fantastic

 

Alex and Blake made a final push to raise their grade

Storie, our very own Star who’s soft, gentle way will never fade

 

Ulises and Vik did not like to write

Hannah, Aman and Guadalupe were a classroom delight

 

Daniel and Bryan both had a soft, shy grin

Brandon who arrived during T2 had not problem fitting in.

 

Liz worked to make graduation her achievement goal

Harjit an all around great student who worked hard – heart and soul

 

As you step into your future I hope you remember the lessons taught to you

Most of all, I hope that to yourself you will always be true

 

Now my story of the class of 2009 is done

I hope each of you reminisce about all of your 8^th grade fun

 

Thank you for sharing these memories of mine

Congratulations to each of you – the class of TWO – THOUSAND – AND – NINE!
