An Ode To BCDS

From Akiva until Aviva there were five Attars that walked the halls of BCDS,Each marking our achievement and applauding our progress.

In Kindergarten we started off with the wonderful Mr. CronsonWho taught us everything about the world and within.

Then in First Grade (and Fifth) we enjoyed Mrs. Rubin,Who dealt with almost each of us through thick and thin.

Second Grade was the joy of Morah Lieberman, our Bubby,Without her, who knows where we would be!

In Third Grade we all learned from many teachers,About all different kinds of wonderful creatures.

Fourth grade we traveled to the Garbage and Wax Museum,Teaching us about the stars in the complex Planetarium.

Finally came Fifth Grade and the teachings of grammar,Instilling the rules in us with a metal hammer.

Eventually came Middle School, with Mrs. Carriero, Mrs. Barnes, and Mrs. RobinsonBut only with the fifth child did we reach the heights of Mrs. Teig and her cookies in a bin.

From Morah Shoshana to the fearful Morah Edna and her dreadful only Ivrit sheetsEach child learned Ivrit accomplishing the ultimate feat.

Next came the Parsha sheets with pesukim to memorize,Studying to get the honor roll was always worth Zaidy’s mini-prize.

Mrs. Praver and Gulliver’s Travels caused a year of trouble, So thank G-d for Mr. Sakson who never let his students stumble.

Gemara was taught to our daughters only by the wonderful Mr. Cohen,Who was always making sure to keep their minds goin’.

Finally with Meir came Mr. Graseck,Whose science rules just didn’t stick.

Then came along Mrs. Weber,Whose history classes went by in a blur.

Each teacher who taught us made a lasting impression,With each and everyone of your many lessons.

The teachers we learned from are too many to name, but tremendous Hakarat HaTov goes to all of you. For more than the knowledge we attained at school, the lifelong lessons we still carry with us today.

With huge appreciation,The Attar FamilyHecky & Rochel,

Kivi (’03), Shana (’05), Chaim (’07) Meir (’09), and Aviva (’12)
