May today there be peace
In the classrooms, brought on
By the creation
And manipulation of the written word.
May today there be time
To put learning on paper
And to see in words
What is being processed in the brain.
May today students see that writing
Is essential in math,
In science, in English,
And in fine arts.
May today students be moved
By an obsession with something to say,
By new ideas,
And by infinite possibilities in front of them.
~D. Hartness, 2007
