What If ?
Let’s suppose just for a moment, what if there weren’t any
ESP
What would become of our schools and where would education be

If not for the dedication of each Education Support Professional

How could our schools ever survive or even function at all
 


For the bus driver wouldn’t be there to pick up children
along the way
The doors wouldn’t be unlocked, the lights on, or the
buildings heated each day
The aides wouldn’t be there to help those
children with a special need
Or the cooks wouldn’t have a hot and
tasty meal ready for all to feed



School security wouldn’t be there to watch over the
children with care
Each child’s records wouldn’t be the secretary’s
load to bear
The computers would crash without the technician to
keep them up to date
And not for the maintenance personnel, one can
only guess the school’s fate



And there are many more that give so much, each in a
different capacity
For to each ESP, education is far more than just
another job or utility
Education is each child’s future, the hope
and prayers of our nation
For that future, each day, ESP give their
work, love, and dedication
