Love Letter to West


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.
