Today is National Poetry Day.
Take the time to enjoy, discover, write and share poetry with your friends and family.
In Musselburgh’s heart, a school stands strong,
Where every young person can find where they belong.
A place where our students learn, discover and grow,
With dreams to pursue and ambitions to show.
Honesty guides us in all that we do,
To speak with integrity, to be fair and true.
Respect in our actions, in all that we say,
Valuing each other as we go on our way.
And when challenges come and the road isn’t clear,
Perseverance reminds us to face every fear.
To learn from mistakes, to try once again,
To keep moving forward through struggle and strain.
From classrooms to corridors, stages and fields,
Our young people discover the talents they wield.
They strive for achievement, they reach for the sky,
With courage to dream and the will to try.
We celebrate achievements, big and small,
And lift one another whenever we fall.
And rise once again, with determination and pride,
Knowing that there's a whole community by our side.
For whatever the future, whatever they choose,
The lessons they carry are theirs to use.
With honesty, respect and perseverance each day,
They'll shape their own futures and find their own way.
Musselburgh Grammar — a school with a heart,
Where learning and community never stand apart.
Together Everyone Achieves More, we proudly say,
United in purpose, we lead the way.
