PrefaceIgnite Hope Now!
Education is our calling
In our students, we believe
We’re giving everything we’ve got
Yet still, some don’t achieve
We see kids living in adversity
In the light of each tomorrow
Experiences we can’t imagine
Such hurt and fear and sorrow
Academics are important,
Yes, test scores must be improved
But kids will find it tough to learn
If they are hungry, hurting, or abused
So much falls upon our shoulders
More placed on our plates each day
Yet in our hands, our students rest
We can help them find their way
As we embark upon our lessons
Of reading, writing, science, and math
We can ignite hope for our young people
If we place character upon their path
You see,
We can teach them through our actions,
To be human above all things
To serve others with love and integrity
And feel the joy and hope this brings
And hope is certainly essential
In the lives of all our kids
But it is up to us to ignite it
To light the flame
