•  The Lower School students, teachers and parents held a memorial walk early Friday morning by the waterfront to remember the victims and survivors of the Tsunami tragedy in Southern Asia. The walk followed classroom discussions, during which students learned about the causes of a tsunami and where it occurred. Lower School is also collecting donations to help survivors.

If you would like to help, please send in your check made out to:

Save The Children/Tsunami Relief Fund. We will be collecting until January 12th.

Swept Away

By Lindsay Stevens

Grade 5

There's sadness in the air

And mourning everywhere.

How could a wave so great

Kill so many if not capable of hate.

So many loved ones lost;

How will their future be,

When all their memories and possessions

have been swept out to sea.

No more father, no more mother,

no more brother, no more sister,

Just the memory of the last time you kissed her. Mr. Heath, Mrs. Dumas and Mrs .

No more comfort, no more homes, Nichols toss flowers in the water

Just the thought of being alone. to serve as a memorial.      

Now it's time to look ahead,

And help our neighbor so there are no more dead.

Before disease and famine set in,

We must help the next of kin.

There always comes a time,

When all there is left to do is band together and build anew.

We must all remember,

It is through pain, we as a world have the most to gain.

Mrs. O. and the Lower School faculty
