Your 5^th Grade Teacher

Mr. Adam Stuart

August 14, 2008

Wake up! Wake up!

Today is your day.

It’s a fresh new start

Can you hear what I say?

The sun has come up

And the slate has been cleaned

It’s time once again

To dream every dream

This is YOUR day

Made special for YOU

To think your OWN thoughts

And DECIDE what to do

So get out of bed

And get on your way

Hold your head high

And choose to be brave

For THIS is the day

When your dreams WILL come true

Because NOT ONCE will you give up,

Doubt or be blue

And when troubles do come

As surely they will

You will face them with heart

In fact you’ll be thrilled

You know each difficulty

Is a strength-making tool

And every new challenge

Only serves to serve you

So head out that door

With your face facing high

Facing every fear

And putting real try in each try

For today is YOUR day

There’s NOTHING you can’t do

NO challenge is too great

For the great UNSTOPPABLE YOU!

- Here’s to an incredible year!

- Mr. Stuart
