 “Ninjas of Love”

 The night is black.

Ninjas are, too.

If you were a samurai,

I would fight you—

 Quick like a cat,

And silent like a dove,

Swinging a sword of passion

And the ninja stars of love.

 

 

2nd Place Winner: Jensen Lewis, 7th Grade

 My love for you is like ice cream and mustard:

No matter what you do, it just doesn’t work.

 When I look into your eyes

Everything gets creepy and I throw up.

Russ is an outstanding teacher and deserves more recognition than any teacher I know and certainly more than A Crystal Apple Award, but the award is very nice!  He won by a large margin in the voting.  His dedication in the classroom is unparalleled!  He goes above and beyond to see that each of his students is treated as a valued human being.  He greets his students at the door every day letting them know they are valued and loved. For all students, he lets them feel that they are alive and that someone notices them and appreciates their presence in his classroom.

One of eight paintings he’s completed, all based on patriotic themes, Millman’s work came to the districts attention earlier this year.
