Clean Start by Daniel Wayne Adams
Read By Abbie and Jesse

You said you wanted a clean start.
Saying it was the easy part.

You tell kids “Set your goals and stick to it!!”
This contest was your chance to do it!!

You ate more veggies, and the kids joined in.
You got up early just to swim.

You skipped fast food and exercised more.
Now you have more energy than you did before.

More salads, less snacking….it’s not easy to do.
Your portions got smaller and so did you.

Cucumbers, videos, and internet votes,
Getting healthy was what mattered most.

Getting healthy always was your focus.
Losing weight was an added bonus.

Money and trips are both really nice,
But the best prize of all is your healthy life.

This has been a Lifetime Television Clean Start for you!!
The best part is that Symons kids got healthy too!!

Miss Tetens, you say you’re proud of us and all we do
Today it’s our turn to say “We’re proud of you!!”

This poem was written by a fourth grade teacher at Symons (Dan Adams) and several his students read it at the assembly. I LOVED it!!!
