We Belong
Each year the student council chooses a theme for the year. The 2024-2025 student council choose the theme of BELONGING. One of our student poets wrote a beautiful poem to help support the theme. These are some of her words.
Our sanctuary, our chance, where judgment shroud is cast aside, and second chances illuminate our stride. Here, we discover our rightful space, wrapped in kindness, embraced with grace. Together, we rise, lifting each other high. Sister and brother, united, we fly. For we belong, despite what they say. In Boys Town's embrace, we find our way.
We Belong
In a realm where whispers drift,
They brand us with names, a shameful gift,
Yet from the shadows, we rise and soar,
Our dreams ignite like the dawn's encore.
They label us as "bad" -- but look,
We're just young souls eager to write our book,
Learning from each stumble, each fall,
In a space where we can stand proud and stand tall.
Boys Town, our sanctuary, our chance,
A haven where hopes and dreams take a dance,
Where judgment's shroud is cast aside,
And second chances illuminate our stride.
Here, we discover our rightful space,
Wrapped in kindness, embraced with grace,
Together, we rise, lifting each other high,
Sister and brother, united, we fly.
In harmony, our voices blend,
A chorus that reaches the heavens' end,
For we belong, despite what they say,
In Boys Town's embrace, we find our way.
Let them chatter; their words will wane,
As we march forward, free from disdain,
In this place where we learn and thrive,
Planting seeds of love, courage, and drive.
Together, we carve a path that's bright,
In a world where dreams ignite,
For we are not the kids they claim to know,
We belong here, fierce and aglow.
