Teachers and Staff: We Appreciate You!

“WHOSE CHILD IS THIS?” 
author unknown

"Whose child is this?" I asked one day 
Seeing a little one out at play 
"Mine", said the parent with a tender smile 
"Mine to keep a little while 
To bathe his hands and comb his hair 
To tell him what he is to wear 
To prepare him that he may always be good 
And each day do the things he should" 
"Whose child is this?" I asked again 
As the door opened and someone came in 
"Mine", said the teacher with the same tender smile 
"Mine, to keep just for a little while 
To teach him how to be gentle and kind 
To train and direct his dear little mind 
To help him live by every rule 
And get the best he can from school" 
"Whose child is this?" I ask once more 
Just as the little one entered the door 
"Ours" said the parent and the teacher as they smiled 
And each took the hand of the little child 
"Ours to love and train together 
Ours this blessed task forever."
