Thoughtful Thursday

As we near the end of camp,

We hope your new found knowledge is a lamp.

A lamp that reveals new possibilities, 

to show off your new capabilities.

This next school year, don't just let it be, 

we hope you'll practice to guarantee, 

that all the coding sticks in your brain, 

so you'll have more left, than just lo mein.

We hope you will join us this fall semester, 

so your new knowledge will not just fester.

Don't let programming become a chore, 

instead, turn it into something you can adore!

-Clara Graham
