2. A Grateful Nation (6th Grade only) You have our backs. You always do.
Teresa Jennings
You have our backs. You always do.
You know that we rely on you.
You have our hearts. We honor you,
The heroes of red, white, and blue.
We are a grateful nation, for all you do,
For all you’ve done.

3. You put yourselves right on the line.
Because of you, we’re doin’ fine.
Your family has given, too.
And they deserve our gratitude.
Our gratitude.
We are a grateful nation, for all you do,
For all you’ve done.

4. Give it up, give it up for the heroes.
We are grateful.
We are grateful. We are grateful.

24. When a room is gloomy and its atmosphere has called it quits, then you must remember that December is a time for glitz. Never stop until each limb on your Christmas tree is sparkle-jolly-twinkle-jingley!

25. Pick up ev'ry ornament that's sitting, waiting on a shelf While you're busy decorating, why not decorate yourself? Soon you'll bring a smile to ev'ry person you see. (solo): I'm sparkle-twinkle-jolly what? (all): Close enough!

26. And if you're at a loss remember the phrase that says, "To thine own elf be true
(to thine own elf be true)" for when it comes to Christmas displays, Look inside, and you'll know what to do. (you'll know just what to do.)

27. Put some cheery folderol on ev'ry wall and ev'ry nook
