Dreams (A Poem By Q. Coyett)


I dream of you,
dreaming of me

In my imagination,
lovely and free

Astray on a unimaginable path

Where me and you are all we have

Dreaming of dreams that should be
In the mind of you and me

In my dreams its us I see I see us in perfect harmony
Dreams, Dreams, Dreams dreams of you and dreams of me

In dreams of you in dreams of me
The dreams that hope

The dreams that elope You to me and me to you
but dreams like this could never come true....

International Day 2012

Crossroads Accelerated Academy at Elverson

What does International Day means to me: (by R. Gaines and G. Wright 16 November 2012)
International day means coming together and showing off your cultural heritage by making food, wearing traditional dress, or performing a traditional dance. Today is International Day here at Crossroads and its a day full of joy. On this day we are all gathered to learn about one another's different culture and national background. I think that this is a great way for students and parents to learn more about others and there way of life. Everyone can try all different kinds of foods that they eat in other parts of the world. 
We can celebrate our differences and our similarities!

Meanwhile Mitt Romney only had 206 votes, nearly 100 less than Obama! Many who voted for Romney were saddened by the loss, but others who had voted for Obama were gleeful when they found out that Obama had won.
