Touching Lives

We are proud of the Pearl S. Buck family. Our tradition is for teaching and support personnel to do whatever is necessary to benefit children. Communication is the key to our success. Parents are urged to request conferences, send notes, and communicate in other ways when necessary. If this becomes a regular habit, we will be fulfilling our mission of working together for the benefit of all the students in our school.

Unity

I dreamed I stood in a studio
And watched two sculptors there.
The clay they used was a young child's heart
And they fashioned it with care.

One was a teacher--the tools he used
Were books, music, and art.
The other a parent, worked with a guiding hand
and a gentle, loving heart.

Day after day, the teacher toiled with a touch
That was careful, deft, and sure.
While the parent labored by his side
And polished and smoothed it o'er.

And when at last, their task was done
They were proud of what they had wrought.
For the things they had molded into the child
Could neither be sold nor bought.

And each agree they would have failed
If each had worked alone.
For behind the parent stood the school
And behind the teacher, the home.
