There are many who go the "second mile"
And greet each day's tasks with a smile;
Who spend their lives serving others
And look upon all men as brothers.
Who work for all children everywhere,
When there's a need - they are there.
Their time and talents freely dedicate
Serving in places small and great.
These are the ones we honor today
And to you we wish to say -
This world is now a better place
Because it looked upon you face.

I don't have a poem, but I do have a quote that I really like from David Hume (I believe he was a British philosopher).
"The sweetest path of life leads through the avenues of learning, and whoever can open up the way for another, becomes an esteemed benefactor of mankind."
We will be having two much loved teacher retire this year both of whom have over thirty years in the district. The pto wants to do something special for them and I've come up with a solution...I'm contacting the high school and middle school as well as our own teachers to ask the students who have had these two ladies to write a short letter to them about their experience in their classroom. I am going to scrapbook everything and present them with the books on the last day of school. What I am looking for is an appropriate poem for the inside cover..if any of you know of any I would really appreciate your help:)
