Welcome to Leverett Elementary School!
Dear Leverett Elementary School Families and Friends,
The first few weeks of school have been filled with many joyful moments including the excitement of new friends, new teachers, and routines. The staff celebrated the first day back together as a staff with the sharing of the following poem:
May This Be a House of Joy
May this be a House of Joy
May we be open here to dreams,
and to each other.
May all who enter in these magic walls
feel love and feel respect
for learning and for each other.
May we be always friends to life.
May we walk in that friendship.
May learning live in this house.
May it never leave.
------ Lucille Clifton
Lucille Clifton wrote this poem for Hollywood Elementary School
in Maryland as its inaugural school blessing in 1993.
May the words of this poem inspire all of us to make LES a House of Joy for each other and for our children.
Rhonda
