Thanksgiving is a time of reflection For the entire American nation To look at our life’s portion And bring forth our appreciation.
We live in a generation With just a touch of a finger’s sensation We seek instant gratification Where pictures are posted with a caption.
Where symbols represent our emotions. It’s our go-to mode of communication. This is the definition Of living in a world of digitalization.
Yet, here in BT – from PreSchool through graduation From our teachers, coaches, and administration They guide us, teach us, and give us direction. We know, what is a true connection.
It is all about our teachers’ care and devotion The encouragement of imagination Students working in collaboration Learning filled with purpose and motivation.
Upholding pride for our Jewish tradition Supporting our aspirations Each child given loving attention And the joy of being part of the BT connection.
As you begin your dinner preparation, And enjoy you upcoming vacation, We look around with amazed speculation Of true Thanksgiving appreciation: Here at the BT convocation.
