I was thrilled to spend time today with some wonderful 6th Graders and their inspiring teacher Kathy Ragan at St. Agnes School in Avon, NY. (My thanks to Cindy Zhe, too, for photographing my visit.) The students wrote the following haiku in honor of Breathing Room: The Music of Loon Lake The gentle breathing The clattering carts ring out This is our music -Mackenzie Yaddaw Friends Keep your good friends close For they are a special gift When you need it most -Gabrielle Kashorek Coughs and Cries There are coughs in the halls There are cries in the morning I wake up to them -James Thomas Winter Air I take a deep breath I feel the cold winter air The air cools my lungs -Alyssa Smith The Best Gift Friendship is a gift To your lonely and sad soul That makes your heart smile -Bridget Hayes Tuberculosis Is a terrible disease Evvy, you got this -Olivia Perkins Awesome amazing Touching beautiful story Tears, joy, and sorrow -Gabriel Cote Fighting TB Through coughing and cries With one more breathe of cold air You will win the fight -Shane Fetzner The cold air heals you, Fighting tuberculosis, In the end you win. -Patrick Lustyk All I heard were coughs Then I hear doctor’s footsteps Then I heard silence -Nichole Carman
