First Day of School

The night before school in the Harvey Homestead,
Lily already sleeping, for once in her own bed.
Nick talking to mommy about third grade,
Reading, Writing and the A’s to be made.
The summer is over how quick it all went,
The beach, Peru, time with family, and lots of money spent.
Back to our routine, a 6 am start,
Breakfast on the way to school, love those pop tarts.
The book bags are packed, paper, crayons, and other supplies,
New friends to meet, and schedules to memorize.
Hard to believe that Nick’s in grade three,
And Lily in grade one, our little teacher to be!
Homework, projects, conferences and PTA
Back to the race of 180 school days.
Three short years ago our school was brand new.
In all the schools in North Carolina Rea View was number two.
The teachers at Rea View will make 2011 better than 2010,
With such dedication nothing short of excellence will happen.
Tomorrow we start, teachers get your rest
Get ready Rea View tomorrow we send you our best!
