This November, we are highlighting a series of creative works from our students centered around gratitude.  We asked them to not only share their talents with us, but also their hearts.  Please enjoy Indy Reads Gives Thanks.

Full of Gratitude — A Poem 

By Indy Reads student, Mercedes

TO MY TEACHERS WITH GRATITUDE 

My mother gives me life,  

My father gives me the sustenance 

And the school teachers 

Cultivate my understanding. 

My dear teachers. 

That gives me your science. 

Your love and your teaching 

And limitless patience. 

I give my gratitude to them, 

And my sweetheart without regardless, 

Because fill of beauty

To my poor knowledge
