Hickory Tavern Elementary School

Principal

Parental Involvement

I dreamed I stood in a studio

and watched two sculptors there,

The clay they used was a young child's mind

and they fashioned it with care.

One was a teacher: the tools she used were

books and music and art;

One was a parent with a guiding

hand and gentle loving heart.

And when at last their work was done

they were proud of what they had wrought.

For the things they had worked into the child

could never be sold or bought.

And each agreed that she would have failed if she worked alone

For behind the parent stood the school,

and behind the teacher - the home.
