Our Grinch Visit on Tuesday, December 19, 2023
A visit to Kinloch
In the Crestwood District, not wide or vast,
The Grinch’s journey was quite a blast.
On the nineteenth of December, a day to remember,
The Grinch paid a visit to Kinloch, so tender.
Jill Marvaso, the principal, so clever and bright,
Transformed into Cindy-Lou Who, to the Grinch’s fright.
With a smile so warm, and eyes sparkling with glee,
She was set to change what the Grinch’s heart could be.
“Welcome, Mr. Grinch,” Cindy-Lou said with cheer,
“To Kinloch Elementary, we’re glad you’re here!
With letters from students, and banners in view,
We’ll show you the joy that can certainly ensue.”
Randy Brooks was there too, a helper so grand,
Assisting Cindy-Lou to take a firm stand.
The Who-kids, with pens, had written with glee,
Letters of warmth, for the Grinch to see.
Their handmade cards, so vibrant and bright,
Filled the halls with a magical light.
Teachers and staff, in a line so grand,
With their little Whos, hand in hand,
Shared songs and stories, in the candle’s glow,
Hoping their love would make the Grinch’s heart grow.
Now, every Who in the district knows,
Of the day the Grinch’s heart rose.
Thanks to Cindy-Lou, and all,
The Grinch’s heart grew three sizes that fall.
As he left Kinloch, his heart full of cheer,
The Grinch carried with him memories so dear.
In this last stop, where the Koalas play,
He’d found the true meaning of the holiday.
Thank You, Kinloch Families!
Thank you to everyone who purchased a class photo with the Grinch! The students had a great time and had so much fun with the mean, old Grinch! Until next year, little Who-kids!
