Wentworth Consolidated Elementary School WE ARE NOT AFRAID

We are not afraid. Our friends have our backs. In school, at home, at play, We'll stay on the right track.

Some kids wear nice clothes. It takes a lot of money. Some kids wish they could, And some kids think that's funny.

No one really likes it, When you call them names. They don't like your put downs. It is not a game!

When you push and shove us, It makes us kind of mad. Upset, frustrated, angry, ….and finally very sad!

We wear the colours that we want. Don't tell us what to do. It's our choice, our decision, Pink, purple, red or blue.

Respect what we say, Don't get in our faces, Please leave us alone. Stay out of our spaces!

We are not afraid. Our friends have our backs. In school, at home, at play, We'll stay on the right track.
