We Play "What a Wonderful World" by Lou Armstrong
The entire building stands once they hear the song playing over the loud speaker. It is such an incredible sight to walk through the building and see such uniformity within two minutes of the first bell ringing. It sends such a beautiful message to everyone as they stand and reflect about the day they are about to embark upon. That song sets the tone for a positive, self-reflective, team approaching, bully-free day! It is the best way to start each and every day! It beats a cup of coffee any day! The entire student body, staff and visitors are always uplifted while hearing that song. We believe that it has more positive impact than any other song out there.
