By : Shivali H. Patra Words are just letters

Pieced together like a puzzle

Its Meanings, 

just more than the simple descriptions of words

The meaning of Saratoga

Is of a hillside residing near a quiet river, 
But to me….

Saratoga is the place I’ve always known as home
The little city with its small unique little shops lined up against each other

The city home to all kinds of trees

The city where education is valued more than anything

Saratoga  is the place I’ve always known as home
A place where others stop to help one another, before helping themselves

A place where others aren’t afraid to change if it makes a difference

Where people gather together

Enjoying those little moments of life

The moments that make life so beautiful 

Whether it’s taking a stroll with your family

Or watching a stranger play a melodious tune in front of the symbolic Memorial Arch

Saratoga is the place I’ve always known as home

What does Saratoga mean to me

It means more than just a hillside residing near a quiet river

It means home, it means family

The warmth it emits

The happiness I feel looking around this wonderful city

The memories I’ll always have 

A community I’ll always be proud to be a part of

Saratoga is the place I’ve always known as home

  • That Darn Old Fly!

    It all started at dinner.
    We heard it while cooking. 
    We heard it while eating.
    “BUZZ BUZZ!,” it went. 
    We covered our food as I grabbed the fly swatter.
    But alas, he kept flying higher and higher.
