A Special Poem About the
Franklin Elementary School Leaders Club*

We've worked with your child and
helped her to learn,
We're returning her now but we want you to know -

 This child is precious,
as dear as can be -
Love her, take care of her,
and you will see
a brighter child with every day.

 In September she was just so little;
midyear a starter; now a lovely child growing up so fast.

We're returning her to you with a poem
written by heart.

Remember this child, as dear as can be -
though rightfully yours, a part will stay with me.

Just remember to help this child grow big and strong.
