Poem of the Week: We Are a Family (By our very own Maddux!)

We Are a Family

By:Maddux Y.

We laugh together

We cry together

We smile together

We frown together

That's what it means to be in Team Bryant

We are never alone or get singled out

For that will cause no ones self doubt

Sometimes we even pick fights

But we always have time to be honest and kind

We are not just friends

We are more like family

And that is why I am proud to be a member

Of Team Bryant

Concord 5th Graders sang Holiday songs at three different nursing homes this morning! They also made holiday cards to pass out to residents. The smiles on the residents' faces were priceless! Thank you to Mrs. Creech for putting the program together.

Think outside the box!

Poem of the Week: Junkyards

Junkyards

by Julian Lee Rayford

You take any junkyard

   and you will see it filled with

   symbols of progress

   remarkable things discarded

What civilization when ahead on

   all its onward-impelling implements

   are given over to the junkyards

   to rust

The supreme implement, the wheel

   is conspicuous in the junkyards

The axles and the levers

   the cogs and the flywheels

   all the parts of dynamos

   all the parts of motors

   fall the parts of rusting.
