Irish Retirement Blessing
May you always have work
for your hands to do.
May your pockets hold
always a coin or two.
May the sun shine bright
on your windowpane.
May the rainbow be certain
to follow each rain.
May the hand of a friend
always be near you.
And may God fill your heart
with gladness to cheer you.

Reading is to the mind what exercise is to the body. ~Richard Steele, Tatler, 1710

We Remember 9-11

2010-09-03T21:22:00.010-04:00

How could 5th graders remember the worlds greatest tragedy when they were only 7 months old? They probably
do not. But, they are always eager to show respect to their country. Each year students meet around
the flagpole to share their patriotism by saluting the flag, singing patriotic songs, reading poems, wearing red,
white, and blue clothing, and waving our flag in the air. This year ceremonies were held inside the school gym.
Mr Henry was the Master of Ceremonies while Mrs. Nesta led us in song. Poetry was read by
sixth graders and 5th graders joined 4th and 6th to teach KES students a new song about our Constitution.

September Eleventh
by Roger Robicheau

We shall never forget that grave day
Nor the lives which were taken away

So closely we stood, so much to bear
September Eleventh stays so clear

Forever changed, our will must endure
Keeping freedom strong within our shore

The bridge of time holds so much to view
Some visions hold heartache, all too true

Those faced with great loss, so understand
The ultimate cost of our free land

God help each one as they meet each day
Your prayers could send your love their way

Remember the brave who march for all
Completely committed to meet each call

As each year passes before our eyes
Our way must sustain, no compromise

Emotions do make us what we are
September Eleventh – Stays Never Far
