The Walking Mavs

Midterms for Mrs. Camarillo’s Dual Credit English Classes at Winn High School proved to be a strenuous affair. 
The students expressed that this stressful week of finals would not have been successfully tackled had it not been for the support they received from their senior teachers. So as a small token of appreciation, they came up with the idea of presenting them with a little something. 
Friday, October 26th, the seniors expressed their gratitude to their teachers by presenting them with a cupcake and a thank you card with the following poem: 

Our teacher’s not a zombie.
She’s not the living dead,
although she’s looking ragged
and her eyes are rather red.

She shuffles to the classroom.
She slowly drags her feet.
She shambles to the whiteboard
looking broken-down and beat.

We listen to her plaintive moans.
We see the way she strains.
We hear her mumble mournfully
about the students’ brains.

But we know not to worry.
We never get upset.
She’s always like this when she
hasn’t had her coffee yet.

Senior teachers at Winn High, the students in Mrs. Camarillo’s classes thank you because without you, they‘d be the walking dead!
