Congratulations CJ!!!!


Several months ago CJ had to write a poem for English class. The only requirement was that it had to be about someone special. Today he found out that his teacher submitted his poem into a contest and he received a high merit award. I thought you might like to read his poem:

My Grandfather

My Poppy is someone important to me

He taught me the values of faith and family

He was smart like a doctor, and strong like a bear

He could fix anything not working, broken, or in disrepair

He taught me to respect nature and to love the outdoors

We spent lots of time at his mountain house doing chores

He had nineteen grand children who love him so

When he passed away last April it hurt me so

His memory I keep alive in my heart

His name I will someday get tattooed on my arm
