Dependable in an ever changing world.
Inspiration is endless.
Relationships center our purpose and passion;
Educating from the caring perspective happens;
Creek play is part of the lesson plan and curiosity rules;
Teachers are North Stars, and...
Imaginations
Open
Naturally.

Goodbye, Blue Mountain
by Holly

Goodbyes are never easy.
O, how I will miss Blue Mountain.
O, the smiling joyful faces of the children,
Days of learning, playing, laughing, watching
Butterflies flutter on the playground, their colorful wings,
Yelling in delight at each discovery, the
Eyes always in wonder of small
 
Beauty. How I loved the
L ittle creek in the woods, looking
Under stones for salamander friends, practicing respect for
Every living thing.
 
My path must take me elsewhere now, to
Other beauty yonder, life leading always into the
Unknown distance & away from yesterday. Though I welcome a
New adventure, I will never not hold close to my heart
These years I have spent here, each day in the classroom an
Adventure, a meditation, a story, a prayer, a deepening, a work of art,
a working-together, a challenge, a lesson, a celebration-
I will never quit celebrating this, will
Never forget the beautiful children at Blue Mountain.

Taking a Pause

Taking
A pause
Keeps things balanced
I will miss teaching and
Nurturing the inner life of kids
Gaining connections with amazing staff

Practicing patience with
All that is new
Understanding that
Sadness is part of the journey
Everyone is interconnected

Art Teacher Poem

Amazed by your cleverly creative ideas
Made our way through the elements and principles of art.
Art movements self portraits
Zoo animal creations using colors and patterns
Impressed by the patients and skills levels achieved 
Nature patterns in art
Gluing collage art

Your own ideas, experiences and dreams
Open to try new ideas and skills
Understanding new concepts
Nature sculptures
Gaining a sense of craftsmanship 

Always exploring with different materials 
Rivetting repartee 
Taking the time to immerse yourself in the art
I loved teaching you art
Sharing witty banter 
Thank you for learning with me
Supportive suggestions and comments

Drama Teacher Poem

Daring to leave your comfort zone
Reaching new heights 
Appreciative audience skills
Making a movie of our play
Amusing tales and laughter
Taking turns
Imaginations gone wild
Communicating clearly

Expressing feelings verbally and with our bodies
North pole present launching
Delightful ideas
Entertaining games
Alien invasion 
Vivacious, creative cooperators
Organizing scenes and writing plays
Really being brave
Story telling
