Four Butterflies

Four Butterflies

Take an ordinary Tuesday, place it in September, make it follow the Labour Day Monday and suddenly the ordinary becomes extraordinary!

Today, the Four Butterflies: Eagerness, Anxiety, Novelty and Excitement, debut in both seasoned and novice Scholars.

They, the Four Butterflies, flutter in hearts of Instructors and Master Teachers.

It is They, the Four Butterflies, that make this Tuesday extraordinary.

Remember Scholars, One and All, to embrace the Four Butterflies, engage in the dance: spiral, soar, dip, twirl, spread wide your own wings ... be ... extraordinary!

Happy New Academic Year Everyone

September

September

Resolute September clings to linen trousers as It anticipates wool cardigans
It prepares us, September does, for the transition from summer into fall
Its brilliant blue sky abandons playgrounds and accompanies scholars of all ages to school
Its chilled mornings shut down swimming pools and invite brisk hikes, leisure walks, drier runs

It reminds us, September does, to make a big deal out of the last of summer
Rise with the sun
Linger in the twilight
Await the dark and the dots of stars
Salute the moonrise

It suggests, September does, to bid summer a fond
languid
adieu

August

August

In Venerable company
the eighth month
on the lineup of siblings

Fifth honoured with a life span of thirty-one days
Auspicious presence in midsummer
Sky Scape
brilliant, clean, blue
White heat at mid
Day
Indigo sky cradles myriad stars at mid
Night

August, Celebrated month, hurries to make hot weather memories In between
thunderous storms and shortening days

Exalted month
Impressive month
Acclaimed month

August month

Welcome

July

July

The month of warm rain and brilliant sunshine
The month of hot sand and refreshing waters
The month of brilliant colour and scented air

The month of picnics and boardwalk runs
The month of falling in love and making promises
The month of public festivals and private celebrations
The month of countless adventures and lazy afternoons

The month of long days and hot evenings
The month of romantic moonlight and spectacular sunshine
The month of early risers and late night firmament watchers
The month of campfires and shooting stars
The month of lingering sunsets and cricket serenades

July the apex of summer months
