Middle School Coffee House - What a Success!

It was a wonderful day of song, poems and music in the Middle School. 
Thank you to the parents that were able to join us for the second Middle School Coffee House of 2017/18
& a special shout out to our guest MC Samm Farai. 
We are so proud of all of our Risk Taking Middle School Performers! 
​Clara Jordan shared her poem with us and we hope you enjoy reading it. ​

My Favorite Place to Be – Clara Jordan
Here I am on the Hawaiian beach
The sun kissing my skin
The sea is my twin
Slapping my legs gently
Rocking me back and forth
Causing me to lean south and north
I am a dolphin diving through the waves
Closing my eyes I can smell the salty ocean
The waves like soft silky lotion
Here I am on the Hawaiian beach
Here I am on the cold crisp mountain
The powdery snow crunching under me
Lift your toes not to trip is the key
Bundled up so I am now an onion
My layers so thick
Yet I can still feel the beauty and ice so slick
Hiking in this white wonderland
Snow falling gently all around
Snow gathering in many a mound
Here I am on the cold crisp mountain
Here I am lost in fantasy
Reading, lost in a made up world
A tale on paper unfurled
Stories spun with such inspiration
Emotions whirling through my head
In a different world yet still in bed
Page after page of wonder and delight
I cannot stop because I live to get lost
Books are like fire and frost
Here I am lost in fantasy
Here I am in my favorite place to be
