Stay In School Poem by Patricia Grantham
Stay In School
When all the children left for school
They went to learn the Golden Rule
Reading, writing and arithmetic
Studying hard to make things stick
The clock struck twelve it was time for lunch
Some played alone others went with the bunch
They could swing, run or ride on the pulley
There was no time left to act like the bully
Waiting for your turn to slide was the best of all
Anyone could go on it whether they were short or tall
Recess was now over it was time to go back to class
Listen to the teacher or you won't be able to pass
The children began to squirm as the day was about to end
Thoughts about home sweet home was just around the bend
Then came the days of summer and time for a carefree break
Stay in school whatever the cost your education is at stake

Stay in school... your education is at stake. Nice message for the next generation. Thank you.
Very sound advice, which many do not heed. We should make this one part of the required reading. Well done.I hope this will go through

My son and I had the honor of having this poem read to us by Ms. Grantham herself. What a blessing it was to hear such beautiful words of wisdom. Thank you Mrs. Grantham.
