First Day of School 2014-2015

The First Day 

I gave you a little wink and smile
As you entered my room today.
For I know how hard it is to leave
And know your children must stay.
You've been with them for many years now
And have been a loving guide.
But now, alas, the time has come
To leave them at my side.
Just know that as you drive away
And tears down your cheeks may flow.
I'll love them as I would my own
And help them learn and grow.
For as a parent, I too know
How quickly the years do pass.
And that one day, it was my turn
To take my child to class.
So please put your mind at ease
And cry those tears no more.
For I will love them and take them in
When you leave them at my door.

- paraphrased from the original "The First Day" poem

Please see my letter below, which includes a list of supplies.
