Our Team

The InterCept women cannot be known by their photographs. Their real value resides inside. This collage of poetry and art is a glimpse into the inner selves of the eighth grade InterCept participants.

The Eagle's Eye

The crow that flies
The nest in the tree
The worm in the morning
That starts your day
Has everything to do with us
In each and every way
The friendship bonds
The new experience, we learn it every day
InterCept girls respect we show
Is yours in new ways

Appearance

Outside I'm happy
Inside I'm sad
Outside I'm strong
Inside I'm weak
Outside I'm Big
Inside I'm tiny 
Outside I'm confident
Inside I'm shy
Outside I don't care
Inside I'm crying
Outside I'm courageous
Inside I'm frightened
Outside I know my way
Inside I'm lost
Outside I'm living
Inside I'm dying slowly
Outside is fake
Inside is real
Outside is what I want you to see
Inside is all who I am

Love is Like a Rose

Love is like a rose 
sitting in a garden waiting 
to be discovered. 
When some person comes along 
and finds the rose, 
they nurture and care for it. 
It becomes one of 
the most beautiful things 
on the earth 
and becomes priceless. 
That is how my love for you is 
Now and Always will be

Untitled

Our love is like no other
It is truer than true
Nothing can take its place
But as of now I don't have
A happy face

You confuse me with your words
I don't know what to believe
From what I've heard
I've been deceived.

Told one thing then another
The tears won't stop flowing
Even though there
May be some other
My love your you
Will never stop growing

All I see when I close my eyes
Is your face.
Don't want nothing to take your place.

Never thought someone could
Get in the way
I'm afraid you'll go away.

I thought we had something special.
I guess I was wrong.
Even though your love has stopped
Mine will always be strong!

Dear Aaliah,

Everyone knows how you died,
When I found out you know I cried
Everyone had a lot to say,
On that sad, unfaithful day.
On that night of August 25th,
I saw it on T.V. but thought it was a myth.
I never thought that it was real,
But it won't change the way I feel.
Everyday I'm thinking of you,
And everyday I'm missing you.
The pain inside goes on and on,
But in our hearts you still live on.
We put you to rest in that deep, dark place,
But I know you've moved on o a better place
You're in Heaven, we're on Earth,
But just know it won't be the first.
Because when it's my time to go
I want you to be the first to know.
I hope you know we all love you
You're in our hearts, you know it's true.
I know you're in heaven smiling down,
But it's tough for everyone with you not around.
So until the day we meet again,
I'll always remember you my special friend!

InterCept

fourteen girls
some complete strangers
others great friends
each from different worlds
some never thought they'd
ever even talk to each other
in one night became closer almost like sisters
with one goal to be great leaders
to lead our peers to do right
we learn how to treat others
and how to respect everyone
no matter who they are
so we can be better people
and help our friends be better as well
learn to solve problems
without using violence
and not to get in trouble
to help resolve problems
before they get out of hand
what we learned will stay
with us forever and
forever should we use
what we learned
InterCept Girls Forever!

InterCept

Since there's not a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow, when you hold out your arms and spin in the snow, to me that's what it is like to be a leader. 

When somebody has a problem and you help work it out, it feels good to hand them a tissue when they begin to pout.

In InterCept we show our emotions as well as our hopes and devotions.  They help us to choose our decisions for the future, so when we're adults, we will love an nurture.  InterCept has helped me see everything I am able to be.

InterCept has helped me to see everything I am able to be.  At the end of the class, at the sound of the bell, I'll remember what I learned and it will help me to excel.
