We recently shared this poem by Olympic View Elementary School student Sadie, written with help from poet and teaching artist Vicky Edmonds.

Sometimes when I feel disappointed,
I can be like a wind storm
blowing all the people
that try to help me away.

But I can try to be like a sunny day,
shining on people and
making them happy.
