What can we do? (part 4 - Use your words!)

Kids, what was the most annoying thing your parents ever told you, when you were between 1 and 8 years old?

I hated it when my parents, mom especially, told me to:

Use Your Words.



Kids, you have more influence than you ever imagined. Reread Frindle and No Talking by Andrew Clements. Adults are helpless if you are united. Remember the strength of a crowd.

This is YOUR school. It may be your school now. It may be your school in the future.

If you let it happen to SMS, more CPTs will be built on school grounds, no matter where you end up!

Use Your Words.



Sing and chant the following wherever you go. Spread the word. Tell everyone you know! Spread the fever.


Tell

Tell your parents, tell your school;
tell your neighbors and car pool.
Tell them this:
        My school is cool.
        Don't pawn my school.


SMS versus CPT

SMS versus CPT
CPT not my cup of tea
Take your tower somewhere else
Leave my school alone or else!
(loud) SMS versus CPT
(louder) SMS versus CPT


The Lab Rat Rap

    voice #1)    I don't want to be a Lab Rat
                      Someone's wallet is getting fat

(*) rap/voice #2) My school is cool
      rap/voice #1) Uh-huh
      rap/voice #2) Down pawn my school.

    voice #1)    Please don't make me a Lab Rat
                       I don't want to wear a tin-foil hat

    Repeat (*)

    voice #1)    I don't want to be a Lab Rat
                      Please let me be a cool cat

    Repeat (*)

    voice #1)    I'm a person, I'm not a Lab Rat
                       I have much to achieve yet!



Let your voice be heard! Let your worries be told! Here are other ways to Use Your Words.

1. Draw, design a poster. Flex your creative muscles. Let your imagination soar!

2. Write about it. Sing about it. Make it a game. Make it fun to have a voice!

3. Send your City Council Members and Governor letters of dissent.


Whatever you end up doing. Send me a copy. And let me know if you want me to post it. I will not reveal your name and identity.
