“Who is wise? One who learns from all people.” (Pirke Avot 4:1)
New lunch box, multi-colored sharpies, a notebook
tucked in a new backpack.
A new outfit.
You are ready.
Off to school you go.
We hope
that this school year is great.
That you ask good questions
from anyone and everyone.
That you learn much
from your teachers, your parents, your friends.
That you are kind and compassionate,
that you are safe,
that you make friends,
That you become wise.
May this be a great year.
