Poems by our Seventh Graders:

"Grass"
Natures green thick hair
A green blanket for the world
It is everywhere.
~Danny

"Passion"
Passion is what makes you dive,
it's your desire to do whatever for more than a high five,
it is why you run that last sprint,
sooner or later people will get the hint.

The hint is you putting it all on the field,
your teammates will then yield they'll say "man, I need that",
and they'll work to do what you did as quick as a cat.
~Marty
