Last Day of Classes

Today was the last day of classes at Solomon. What a year it has been! I'd like to thank the teachers who welcomed me into their classrooms (and helped as needed), Solomon administration, and of course, the terrific students who wrote such great poems, and talked avidly and intelligently about the poems we read.
