August 5th………“IN YOUR DAYS, AS HEAD CUSTODIAN AT GLENWOOD HEIGHTS PRIMARY SCHOOL, DID YOU HAVE A SENSE OF FAMILY AMONG STAFF AND STUDENTS”??
POEM – “Let’s Travel Back” by N. Elliott Noorlun. After graduating High School in May of 1972, I went to work as a custodian for my alma mater in the Battle Ground School District based in Battle Ground, Washington. I invested the greatest share of my 31 years of service at the most wonderful Glenwood Heights Primary School. Those magical years were truly a family experience between each other as staff members and our tremendous students that blessed us each year. Hope you enjoy this short poem of my heart thoughts of those years.
Let’s travel back, To 1984,
When youth was ours, At Glenwood’s door.
A loving family, We truly were,
E’en now as time, Flies like a blurrrrr!
T’ween Readin’ and Writin’, And Arithmetic,
We’d count on each other, Through thin or thick!
This old custodian garners, A most golden joy,
To have known each teacher, And “Cubby” girl n boy!!! 😉
