Poetry Corner
Raindropsby Olivia Xu
Dancing from the endless sky,the drops consumed by hungry earth.And the droplets on mountain high,
Form rivulets in their rebirth.
A ray from the apex to the base,Carving its path in the stone.
Transparent runners that leave little trace,Ones that never run alone.
A glimmer of sun from the sky above,In the end the clouds will clear,
Water sent down with a seraphim’s love,With every ripple its visage appears.
An Artist’s Delight
As I look up toward the sky,Many white clouds are floating by:Some are large and some are small,Each resembling a cotton ball.In between a soft shade of blueGiving the impression of a brooklet running through:Combination of blue and snowy whiteAlong with imagination is an artist’s delight.
by “Our Senior Member”, Rhoda Osheroff

This beautiful “viburnum judii” is a flowering bush, which lendsits sweet fragrance to our entire property, and it is one of myfavorites! It is the fruition of a master gardener’s nurturing, hardwork, dedication, perseverance, and patience. In the samefashion, our loyal PTSA members cultivate the innate talents oftheir students to the highest possible level. We acknowledgeand joyfully applaud their efforts and achievements.
