A school is a place for learning

For trying out ideas

For thinking.

A city is a place for doing,

For having our say,

For action.

It may be

That one could do without the other,

THat there could be a place

With no school,

No preparation,

Only action

WIthout thought

Chaos.

But that place is not Chicago.

Because Chicago has a school.

It's a school

WIth a big heart

Like the city

With "big shoulders."

It's a school

With vision, faith, and spirit.

It's my school

Aquinas.
