The pride you have in your work shows through. I know it isn't said often enough, but you are appreciated for a job well done! Thank you very much, Denise Gornick, Housekeeping/Laundry Supervisor When September rolls around, one of the first things that comes to mind is the children going back to school. Often, during our discussion groups here at The Home, the Residents recall the "good ole days" when they would walk to school, how many grades were in the same class room and how the boys would dip the girls pig tales in the ink wells. I'm sure the following poem will recall some fond memories of being in school. COUNTRY SCHOOLHOUSE Do you have a little red schoolhouse safe in your memory, With an iron stove and an outside pump and a shady apple tree? There were well carved desks and a water pail and many shaggy books, A round world globe, a few rough shelves at the back, a row of hooks. A long black stovepipe ran the length of the rudely finished room And a coal oil lamp on a swinging chain helped dispel the gloom. A blackboard graced the whole front wall; there was always lots of chalk. You used a slate and your pencil squeaked, and no one dared to talk. The modern schools are large and grand and beautiful to see, But how many love the country school treasured in memory?
