Together, Let Us By Nyla Evans, Grade 10 Together, let us create; We’re gifted with creativity and imagination; Who shall take it away? Together, let us teach and learn; We are not useless or unintelligent; Our intellect, knowledge and wisdom will carry on for generations. Together, let us shine; The sun will forever illuminate our skin; hold your head up high. Together, let us rise above; Why stand still when you are able to move? Why stay silent when you have a voice and can force everyone to listen? Why lose sight when you can see the issue? Why back away when history is watching? So right now, together, let us change the ending. The Last Word Thank you for reading our annual magazine; we hope you’ve truly enjoyed this window into our beloved school. Let us close with an offering of infinite hope, thanks to a student who wowed us by performing this original poem at our 7th annual African American Read-In, an Upper School community gathering at which students, faculty, and staff read and sing works of their own along with the likes of Maya Angelou, Langston Hughes, and Martin Luther King. 50
