Dear Jan,
Here is a poem that I have written for my teacher that has
taught me for 13 years. She recently retired after 29 years
of being a teacher!
Enjoy!
Some stars always shine,
Some stars never fade.
That's the star we’re celebrating,
The luminary of twenty-nine years.
Christine Pugh is moving on,
Her time has come to pass.
She's heading to retirement,
No more days in class.
Christine went into teaching
To make a difference in lots of lives.
Now she deserves our praises,
Academic-type high fives.
Her classroom management was tops,
Her teaching style supreme.
Christine should have been published in Scholastic books,
She's truly on the beam.
The gratitude her students express
Are marvels of grace and love.
Christine's legacy is crystal clear,
She'd always go the extra mile.
Her life outside the classroom,
Always varied, always full.
Christine has it every way,Every push, every pull.
With husband John, a life of love,
Two kids to just adore.
Chloe and Gareth,
Who could ask for anything more?
But more is what she has,
Every single day.
She's a model of consideration,
Kind-hearted, full of cheer.
If anybody wants to know,
Christine Pugh is just a dear.
Lovely and unique,
Long lustrous hair.
Always dresses in top fashion,
Christine is truly rare.
Her smile is just infectious,
A chronic sparkle in her eyes.
Christine, we'll really miss you,
All the girls and guys.
So positive in your nature,
And nurturing in your ways.
You are a legend of the classroom,
Who never fails to amaze.
Now it's time to explore new paths,
Out in the world and ambling.
To have fun and new adventures,
And perhaps -- more time for shopping!
Just know we wish you well,
In fact, you deserve the best.
As teachers go, and as people,
You're just better than the rest.
With boundless warmth to match your own,
And gratitude for all your pluck,
Thank you, Christine, We’ll miss you.
And we wish you forever luck.
