Salute BRAVE Teacher



In a quiet classroom when shadows creep,
The long corridor you’ve always kept clean,
There are stories to tell;
Each lesson of sweat,
Every staying up late,
Each teaching with a smile;
Each frustration over a clue,
The happiness you spent with kids,
The indifference of the colleagues,
And sometimes arguments at their finest. 

And most of the time the isolation from the leaders,
All these speak the truth: you’re a fighter!
With every stumble, with every fall,
You rise again; you stand up tall.
The world may turn a blind eye now,
But the stars still shine, and they know how. 

You guide the weary, the lost, the naive,
You shore up those who are pursuing achievements, 
And that’s your win! Keep the faith. 
So, hold on tight, don’t lose your way,
The dawn will break; it’s just a test,
Your hard work whispers, “I am not vain”.

Each effort counts, through joy and pain,
In the matter of time, your thread will gleam,
For every tear that has graced your cheeks,
Is a step toward the future you seek,
So, lift your chin, let courage swell,
In the depths of struggle, you’ll find your spell.

For someday soon, they will see,
The brilliance that lies in the heart and soul,
Keep your faith alive, let your hopes ignite,
For you are a BRAVE teacher,
With every heartbeat, with every breath,
You’re crafting a legacy that conquers death.

So, hold on, brave teacher, the journey’s not done,
Your story is waiting, your victory’s begun.
In the tapestry of life, you’ll find your place,
A shining beacon of strength and grace.
Remember the seeds your soul will sow, 
You will reap someday.

Plate Of Plenty

If you don't feel like eating, think of them! This photo has so much pain. 😒 Food is life, but brain fog for an ungrateful heart.  If you don't like what's on your plate,  don’t toss it aside, don’t seal its fate.  Each morsel holds a story, a journey begun, A  gift from the earth, a battle won.   Imagine a morning when the table is bare,  what will you do when hunger calls loud, No bread, no fruit, just an empty stare.  The abundant meals and the warmth of a feast, All vanish in silence and hunger unleashed.  When a pantry is empty, and your stomach aches.   Don't dare to wish!  So, before you discard what you do not desire, think  of the hands that toiled, the hearts that inspire.  Each bite is a blessing, a chance to reflect on  those who have little, on lives we protect.  So, savor the flavors, let gratitude flow, For  the food on your table, let appreciation grow.  For one day you may wake, a...

Gratitude for Provided Lunch

Why We Need to Stop Wasting Our School Lunch Recently, a teacher raised a frustrating concern: students are throwing away the school-provided lunches. It’s a tough conversation, but it is one we need to have. The lunch provided by the PSS (Public School System) is a privilege. Many communities and organizations do not have the resources to offer free daily meals, and we are fortunate to have this support. Being thankful for what we receive creates a better school environment and shows appreciation for the staff who work hard to feed us every day. If you don't want to eat your meal, please do not throw it in the trash. Give it to a classmate who wants it. Consistently discarding food creates negative feedback that could jeopardize the entire lunch program. If we want this program to survive, we need to adapt. That means being willing to eat fruits and vegetables, rather than just sticking to the usual foods we prefer. This program is an opportunity to build healthier eating habi...
