To the beautiful scholars and families of the MS 129 community,
Today marks the final day of the 2019-2020 academic school year, and what an eventful and historical school year it has been. i want to begin by saying thank you to all the students and their families for resilience that you have all shown during this year of transition, and adaptation. As a first year principal I couldn't be more grateful for the support and love that I received in my first official year leading one of the most promising schools in the city. Although we still face uncertainty in what the future holds for us as a school community, I am assured that in partnership with our scholars and their families we will always achieve excellence and success.
You all have played such a major role in creating a wonderful school, there is no community like ours.
Please have a great summer and enjoy your well deserved time off.
Remember, MS 129 -vs- The World
Poem by Ms. Zen, Para-Educator
We shine our light in the darkness
Giving the children direction to see
Viewing their struggles and accomplishments
Opening doors in their minds with the master key.
We empower them with knowledge
Preparing them for the world
As they stand on our shoulders
Every gem every pearl.
Jewels they are
We polish their brain
Unlocking windows of neurons
Sparking electric impulses again and again.
We are the backbone trombone
Fresh water from the spring
We are their smile the rhythm child
That gives them a voice to sing.
We are tick on the clock
The bang and the boom
The surgeons on their intellect
When they step into our room.
We are the emotional support
Drying tears when they cry
The nudge and hand holders
We teach them how to fly.
We give them the ladder
To reach our expectations
Giving them our love and support
With a push of determination.
And make no mistake
That from grade 6 through 8
They will be equipped
For the challenges they may face.
From the hood to Hollywood
We are the stars that make them shine
We are the towers we are strong
We are 129.
