Beauty is...

This year the theme for the school reflections contest was "Beauty Is..." Josh submitted a poem that he wrote and he won! He was just tickled, and we were so proud!



Camping

Camping, the mysterious, chirping, howling, wild outdoors.

The heat rising from the fire,

roasted marshmallows soon begin to be made into
delicious chocolaty s’mores.

Nighttime, the stars and moon begin to rise.

The sound of crickets fills the air.

Everyone in their tents.

Telling scary and silly stories.

Squeezing into sleeping bags.

ZIP!

Camping, the greatest adventure ever.


Congratulations Josh!

Wow....well done! I would've have guessed that was written by a child. He's obviously a "smart" Moody!

That's great we just had our Reflections Night this week too. My son made a wire scultpture of a boy out of an old white hanger. It's amazing what kids come up with.
