CA Lower School embodies The Alphabet for Life
On my final Friday letter to wrap up this school year, I would like to honor and celebrate the Lower School Faculty and Staff! I am continuously in awe of you and feel so fortunate to be at Colorado Academy with you as a member of the Lower School. I have an "Alphabet for Life" hanging in my home, and when I read it…I think of you!
The Alphabet for Life
Always be able, be adventurous and apt
Be your best, be big and boldly rapt
Calmly listen, be courageous and caring
Dream big dreams, and learn to be daring
Eagerly await each elusive gift
Forgive all others the tiny rift
Give of yourself, be grateful and grand
Hurry to lend a hardy and helping hand
Inquire of others and invent when you must
Join in the joy, be jolly and just
Keep trying, be keen and always be kind
Love with your heart, it’ll be easy to find
Make the most of each moment, try to be merry
Never say never when life gets a bit scary
Open your mind to all that’s around you
Practice makes perfect, let passion surround you
Quickly grasp the knowledge you need
Respect your elders, their wisdom heed
Support your friends, be safe, be sage
Trust in love no matter your age
Use your talents, be unique, understand
Visit your grandparents, remember they're grand
Wish on a star, be wise, be wary
Xpect the unexpected, don’t try to tarry
Yell if you must, be young at heart
Zany and zippy with zest from the start The final line says it all—Zany and zippy with zest from the start. From A to Z, you make the Lower School what it is! Thank you for your time, energy, and dedication this year. I am honored to work, learn, Zoom, and love with you each day!
With sincere gratitude and enormous love! Enjoy your Summer days!
