Thank you for helping one of my impoverished 2nd grade students. I wrote a poem to try and convey just how much you helped her.
Little cold feet are under the desk.
Out of their shoes and looking a mess.
Little red toes are curled up really tight.
Hoping teacher won’t notice the sight.
Little sweet face beaming bright with a smile.
School is everything to this child.
Little squished toes are walking in line.
Take a break from time to time.
Day after day her feet do their best.
Until, one day, she’s called from her desk.
The teacher smiles, and off she goes
Returning in brand new shoes that she owns!
Little warm feet are under the desk.
Not out of their shoes.
Not looking a mess.
Little white faces in two pretty bows
Disguising beneath them her comfortable toes.
Little sweet face beaming bright with a smile.
School is everything to this child.
Thank you Operation School Bell.
