From the recording WE MAKE IT HAPPEN AT LAKE STREET SCHOOL
CHECK THIS NEW SCHOOL SONG OUT! It was created in my School Song-Creating program in May/2011. The LAKE STREET 5th graders (Vernon, CT) and their teachers were really into it and that made all the difference. They now have a new school song! Here's the CD cover chosen by the teachers and done by one of the 5th grade students. The school ordered 500 copies to sell at their fund-raisers and to give to incoming kindergarten classes. Let me know if you'd like this program at your school.
