On the Other Side of the Door

On the other side of the door

I can be a different me,

As smart and as brave and as funny or strong

As a person could want to be. 

There’s nothing too hard for me to do,

There’s no place I can’t explore

Because everything can happen

On the other side of the door.

On the other side of the door

I don’t have to go alone.

If you come, too, we can sail tall ships

And fly where the wind has flown.

And wherever we go, it is almost sure

We’ll find what we’re looking for

Because everything can happen

On the other side of the door.

What wonder awaits on the other side of the door at Zaharis School?  There are no limits to the possibilities!  We want our Soaring Eagles to explore and imagine; to question—to interrogate the world.  Learning is magical.  The elementary school years should be full of adventure, wonderment, and great joy!  I am thrilled to be associated with what exists on the other side of the door.  May we continue to work together so all of our precious little ones may know that they too, can “sail tall ships, and fly where wind has flown.”
