I arrived at school today to find a note on my desk. A piece of paper folded in half with Mr. Bogush written on the top and one of those chicka girlie hearts that only a teenager could draw.
I opened it up and inside was written:
6th Grade–sketching a picture (what will yours be?)
7th Grade–Outlining and coloring (will yours be dull or bright?)
8th Grade–Are you proud of what you made? Do you want to hang it up?
Will you?
Email me and I’ll describe mine to you.
Signed (student from last year)
A great story teller once told me never to interpret a story for an audience. So I will leave her note to you the way it was left for me, with no interpretation. It did make me think that only now after 40 years of living am I getting close to being ready to “hang” my picture up.

Hiya Mr Paul
That is very unusual, to actually have a student put such a not on your desk… I was surprised. But your choice to put it away and ignore was very wise, so well done Mr Paul, I’m sure it was the best decision to make, because to answer would cause quite a stir… and the message was a bit peculiar as well!!
Thank you for sharing this with us, your audience Mr Paul. I am sure you did the right thing.
( Thanks for your comment! I replied back to you on my blog.)

Hi Paul!
I saw you left a comment on my blog. Thanks for that!
Well I must say it is a strange note for a student to leave on your desk, especially with no explanation. Maybe it was something sensible or it could have been a different thing, so I think it was best you left it!
It really creates interesting thoughts when you share unusual little things like this!
Bye!
