There once was a teacher who lost her direction
So, she turned her car West in random selection
Little did she know her life would be blessed
By all of the people this new school possessed
Though she was the teacher, she learned as much as she taught
From the admin, teachers, and students her broken path sought
Cheri and Lesa taught me grace under pressure
Just keeping a smile is truly a treasure
From Laila I learned to say yes more than no
While current admin provided new ways to grow
Poullard taught me to make learning fun
Allison and Franci did this like no one
Vern gave me recognition, which of course I repeated
Our nurses stayed calm when my blood pressure was heated
Catherine and Cary glammed my world and my hall
Shari, Brandi, and Pam taught divine call
Nolte showed me how set the bar high
And Polly said always be sure of your "why"
Trisha and Angie encouraged and coached
Laura held me together with true friendship and jokes
Carson and Howell truly loved all the learners
Marci's service and sacrifice was like no other's
A true partner and coach Victoria became
She gave me courage to lead and helped keep me sane
These lessons sound small but a big impact you've made
Because of your love my new path is laid
Over a decade has brought so many so dear
but I'll end with my kids to my heart your most near
Perseverance, forgiveness, patience, and heart
I've learn the most from you, that I just couldn't part
You see, this isn't good-bye, but I'm following you now
I'm off CHS after this one final bow
Thank you all friends for showing me the West way
Please stay in touch Westies I'm not far away.
