!!!
A new school By: Margeret Lin
!
As the leaves fall from the trees
!
And the air becomes dry and cool Students at home begin to pack up their bags They’ re starting up at a new school. Gone were the summer’ s lazy days No longer shall we play sports in the glen, Children are busy ripping up their old school roots When autumn comes, they’ ll have to start again. A new teacher, some new books A fresh apple on her table A new pencil box full of just-bought school supplies Your name printed neatly on the label. You get lost again, like you used to do, When you were simply a kid, Your new locker is now bright and big Nothing like what your old locker did. You’ ll have different classmates And within them, you’ ll find some new friends, You forget all your hopes of going back to grade school Instead, you hope the new year never ends. Fun projects, games, a garden too, Skits and new books to read, A library, a game room, with computer privileges, A merit if you do a good deed. Forget what they say that you won’ t remember your old school, The more you remember your schools, the better, Once you become a Highcrest Hawk, You’ ll be a hawk forever.
