Bella and the farm girls....
yes, Bella is in there somewhere....

One of the home-schooled students, (or 'un'schooled as she likes to call it) involved with the Roots and Shoots program, wrote a neat poem that I wanted to share with you here.

School Bell,
No More!

No more school bell,

Or rushing crowds

Through the endless maze of halls.

No more grades, due dates,

Schedules or essays.

No more 'show and tell'

And definitely less stress.

Just living life the

Way I want

Even it if is in

A dress.

Walking through

A garden

One rainy afternoon.

Reading a book,

Savoring its pages,

of a land where there's

No hatred.

With no clock around

Me.

Afternoon dissolves into

Night. As endless

Opportunities that

Life gives me,

Skips those

Who

Have a school

Bell.

Who, unlike me

Aren't full of glee.

Every day.

For I am without

A school bell.
