To Mr. Mike and Ms. Jill

On Friday, February 25, 2011, the students and teachers at Casey Community School held a memorial service to commemorate the one year anniversary of the tragic plane crash that took the lives of Mr. Mike, Ms. Jill, Makayla, Bryce, and Sir Barry Bowen. Angela, a StandardV student, wrote this poem for the service.

To Mr. Mike and Ms. Jill

By Angela, Standard V When I started in school this day seemed to be far away. Now it’s here and I can’t believe that time has passed so quickly. But through your encouragement and guidance I feel I’m ready for tomorrow’s challenges. Teachers play such an important part in shaping and guiding…especially teachers like you, Mr. Mike and Ms. Jill. Thank you for caring so much. We miss you a lot. I hope we meet again someday. It is very hard for us to continue without you.
