Would you like to have the whole school learn a song that you helped write? Would you like to have your name on the school song forever? Would you like to become a famous student at Grass Lake?   Then you might want to scroll down to find the music. Here you will find more directions about how to do it.

Song contest rules:

All students in grades 2-8 are eligible

Teachers will vote for the best songwriter

You can only enter once

You can bring your words to the first music class in the Fall.

The winner or winners will have their name on the school song forever. The whole school will learn your song, and the school song will be performed throughout the new school year, and for years to come.

I am excited to see what ideas you come up with!  You can even write the words with a friend if you want.

The first graders are playing steady beat, upward and downward direction, and playing a singing game with the rhyme Wee Willie Winkie.
We have also been writing our own lyrics for the song “Down By the Bay.” Have your child sing his or her verse that he or she made up.
