We had a baseball theme for our school year last year, and I wrote a parody to "Take Me Out To The Ball Game" that worked well to support our P.B.I.S. program.

We're all winners at Armstrong.
We're all part of the team.
Students and teachers and parents, too,
we are all focused, we know what to do.
Whether listening, laughing or learning,
"Do Your Best" is the rule.
We are SAFE, RESPECTFUL, and RESPONSIBLE,
here at Armstrong School.

I added a spoken ostinato and divided our school population in half so that both were performed at the same time.

"We can do it. We can do it. We can hit a home run. We can do it. We can do it. Learning can be lots of fun!"

It was a great way to begin or end our all-school monthly assemblies.
