D.A.R.E. Lyrics

5th graders will be celebrating their D.A.R.E. graduation on December 16th! In celebration, 5th grade will be singing The DARE Song.

Below are lyrics for rehearsing.

Break a leg!
Mrs. Caughlan






D.A.R.E. Song

People can tell me what they’ve done. 
 Maybe some things. …. Maybe none.
But people can’t tell me what to do. 
I will choose…. the way that’s true….. for….. me!
Don’t want to fall into the trap.
Don’t want to be somebody’s sap.
I’m better than that. 
I’ll go to the mat to prove I can beee…..drug freeeee! 
Yeah, yeah!

Chorus:
D!  I won’t do drugs!
A! Won’t have an attitude!
R!  I will respect myself!
E!  I will educate me!

Repeat chorus

Now……

People can tell me what they know. 
I will listen as I go.
But people can’t take my mind away. 
 Only I…. can have a say… in… me....
Don’t have to follow others’ path. 
 Don’t have to know their aftermath.
My mind is my own! 
I’ll reap what I’ve sown! 
I know I can be….. drug freeeee! 
Yeah, yeah!

 Repeat chorus twice

Now…….

BOYS:              Check your attitude at the door…


GIRLS:
I’m gonna beat the odds.  I won’t do drugs.  I won’t give in
 I’m gonna call the shots in my life.  And I’m going to win.
Don’t push me.  Don’t press me.  Don’t call me friend when
All you wanna do is drag me down.  It’s time for this to end!
Check your attitude at the door!  I do not want to score!
I only want to win in… this… drug… war!!!

Yell: D-A-R-E

Everyone sings chorus 2 times with clapping
Sing Chorus 1 time quietly with no clapping.
Sing Chorus last time really loud!
Everyone:  Now!  Now!
Yell: D-A-R-E!
Sing:  I will dare!
Yell: Dare!

Veteran's Day

Choir Club and 3rd/5th grade students had their first performance of the year on Wednesday.

Choir Club did a wonderful job singing The Star Spangled Banner. I am so proud of their hard work in only a few short weeks!



3rd and 5th graders had a combined performance of On Veteran's Day. The students voted for this piece to honor their Veterans on the holiday. Wow!!! What a terrific first performance! I am very proud of all singers and am looking forward to our first concert on November 19 at 7:00pm.


Great job Crestwood!
