Core Values

These are the core value songs we will sing throughout the school year.

"I Think You're Wonderful" by Red Grammer

Chorus:
I think you're wonderful, when somebody says that to me.
I feel wonderful, as wonderful can be.
It makes me want to say, the same thing to somebody new.
And by the way I've been meaning to say,
I think you're wonderful too.

If we practice this phrase in the most honest way,
and find someting special in someone each day.
We'll lift up the world one heart at a time.
It all starts by saying this one simple line.... chorus.

When each one of us feels important inside,
loving and giving and glad we're alive.
Oh what a difference we'll make in each day
and all because someone decided to say.... chorus.


"Be Bop Your Best" by Red Grammer and Pamela Oland

Inside of you there’s burning a secret shining star.
And there’s nobody as good as you at being who you are.
You’re gonna find your own way so don’t you worry ‘bout the rest.
Just live life like you mean it and bibbity – Be-Bop Your Best!

Cause you’re magical and marvelous
with a voice inside of you that you can always trust.
Sayin’ Be-Bop Your Best and give it the best you’ve got!

You’re astonishing and wond’rous, the implications are simply thunderous.
Baby Be-Bop, Be-Bop, Be-Bop Your Best, why not?

You can’t let people tell you – sell you or compel you – not to be who you are.
Appreciate and see them, but you don’t need to try and be them.
Just Be-Bop Your Best and follow your own star.

The mark you leave is uneraseable.
You’re abso-positively irreplaceable.
So Baby Be-Bop Your Best and give it the best you’ve got!

When you’ve got a choice – Be-Bop Your Best.
Trust your inner voice – Be-Bop Your Best.
Everything you do – Be-Bop Your Best.
When it’s up to you – Be-Bop Your Best.
He-Bop, She-Bop, bibbity-bibbity-Be-Bop Your Best.

Nothin’s goin’ right – Be-Bop Your Best.
Someone’s impolite – Be-Bop Your Best.
Hangin’ with your friends – Be-Bop Your Best.
When it gets intense – Be-Bop Your Best.
It’s always up to you – to let your bibbity-bibbity best shine through.

You’re a tantalizing mystery.
You’re the only you there’ll ever be in history!
So Baby Be-Bop Your Best and give it your best, why not?
Baby, Be-Bop Your Best – and give it the best you’ve got!


"I've Been Working On Good Character"
(To the tune of "I've Been Working on the Railroad")

I've been working on good character, every single day.
I've been working on good character, and I'll show you how to play.
First you follow all the rules, then you do your best.
Be respectful and trustworthy, then you'll pass the test.
Carings number one, Fairness number two, citizenship is number three,
Respect is number four, responsible is five, and number six is trustworthy.


"RESPECT"

R-E-S-P-E-C-T, Here’s what this word means to me.
Treat each other like a friend. Live the golden rule.
Learn to listen, learn to care,learn to empathize.
Learn to make each person feel special in your eyes.
R-E-S-P-E-C-T, Here’s what this word means to me.
Treat each other like a friend. Live the golden rule.


"Courage"

Be strong, be brave, be positive, be confident, be sure.
Just choose the path you know is right, the values that endure.
Some choices may be easy. Some choices may be rough.
But courage makes you powerful when things are getting tough.
Be strong, be brave, be positive, be confident, be sure.
Just choose the path you know is right, the values that endure.


"Building Character, Building Bridges"

Building character, building bridges too. Join in our goal this year.
We'll try and try to be our best and help each other too.
Responsible and determined, I'll follow what I believe.
With gratitude, I'll care and give, be fair and kind and true.
We'll do it right at Woodland School with hand and mind and heart.
Each step I make will help us all, we all will do our part.
