" Independance Day "

 
Back in 1776, we won the "Revolutionary War"....
We celebrate "Independance Day" every year on July 4!
 
We'll have bar-b-ques and parades, and we'll fly our flag high....
Then later we'll watch a display, of fireworks in the sky!
 
As our families gather, everyone learns some manners...
Like standing still and being respectful,
When they play the "Star Spangled Banner"!
 
We'll have hot dogs and hamburgers, and lots of other snackers....
You might hear a pic-a-lo-pete, or even some fire-crackers!
 
It's a tribute to America, here in the land of the free.....
We'll celebrate "freedom", from sea to shining sea!
 
It's also a tradition, it's the American way....
To give our heatfelt thanks, on "Independance Day"!

" Civil War "

 
 
We are gathered here today, to re-enact a war….

So pay close attention, you're about to learn some more!

It was over a hundred years ago, around 1865…

America was in a "civil war", she was trying to survive!

 

It was the North against the South, the blue vs. the gray…

Four years of fighting, came down to one day!

The battle of Gettysburg, and the charge of General Pickett….

It would unite our Country; it must've been the ticket!

 

It was one fateful order, given by General Lee….

The North would prevail, soon all would be free!

Folks would say later, what the heck was he thinking?

"A more perfect union formed", would say President Lincoln!

 

Today you honor those soldiers, by marching and drilling….

You practice your jodies, and remember the killing!

More Americans were lost, than all other wars combined…

We paid a heavy price, with broken dreams left behind!

 

So thank you students, both present and past…

Your actions today, are how memories last!

We stand together now, as a tribute to that day….

In the land of the free, God Bless the U.S.A!

" Flag Day "

 

 It was June 14, 1777, according to the story...

We celebrate Flag Day, to honor Ole Glory!

 

The very first flag, came courtesy of Betsy Ross...

It represents Liberty, regardless of the cost!

 

It stands for Hope, our star-spangled banner...

Respect it and Honor it, and treat it with manners!

 

Proper flag etiquette, says don't fly it at night...

But if you do, provide proper light!

 

No flag shall fly higher, & never fly it upside down...

And do all you can, so it won't touch the ground!

 

It's a symbol of freedom, the home of the brave...

The good ole Stars and Stripes, long may it wave!

" Make It As A Pro "

 
To reach the next level, you should know....

Certain things you'll need, to Make It As A Pro!

 

You'll have to get stronger, and get a little smarter....

You've gotta work hard, and be a self-starter!

 

Believe in yourself, and focus on your dream...

Get better everyday, it'll improve your self-esteem!

 

Most will lack discipline, they fail to pay the price....

They'll say they wanna succeed, but refuse to sacrifice!

 

The physical part is one thing, but let's be clear....

Most of "getting better", is right between your ears!

 

Recognize distractions, and don't lose that focus....

It's gonna take practice, it's not just hocus pocus!

 

If you put in the work, each and everyday...

it's only a matter of time, before things go your way!

 

Soon you'll see improvement, and your confidence will grow...

and you've just discovered, how to "make it as a pro"!

 

Now, some folks will work hard, and others have natural talents...

and if you have both, you've found a wonderful balance!

 

 

Coach A

"Self-Discipline"

 
 
If your behavior needs correcting, or you choose to break a rule…

You'll probably get disciplined, cuz that's not allowed in school!

 

We should expect orderly conduct, as YOU demonstrate self-control…

Then WE don't have to step in, and that should be your goal!

 

So if you practice Self-Discipline, you've taught yourself how to act….

You know how to behave, you're growing-up and learning tact!

 

Now, if the task at hand is tough, you might need to knuckle down…

You'll need to stay disciplined, so you won't lose any ground!

 

Yes, folks will be impressed, if intervention is'nt needed…

You know  rules are important, your habits have become deep-seated!

 

So, no more tantrums, and stop your whining….

We know you can do this, so step up and start shining!

" Memorial Day "

 

 

 To honor our fallen heroes, we celebrate "Memorial Day"…

Ever since 1971, it's been on the last Monday in May!

 

We're grateful to our veterans, and to those we've lost…

Protecting our freedom, they paid the ultimate cost!

 

As symbols of respect, we place flowers and flags on their grave…

They laid their lives on the line, protecting the home of the brave!

 

They went out to conquer evil, is my recollection…

They served and sacrificed, as we pause in reflection!

 

Thank you to every service-person, for protecting us from harm…

There is no higher honor, than serving America under arms!

 

Thank you,

 

Coach A

" Teaching "

May 11 was the Day of the Teacher... read on...
 

 

They say that "Teaching", is a noble profession...
So listen carefully, to a teacher's impression!
 
The teachers I know, are generous and caring...
They're all very bright, and they don't mind sharing!
 
They have high moral qualities, they're honorable and funny.....
They try to make a difference, cuz it's not about  the money!
 
They educate and mentor, and they model and guide...
They deserve your respect, cuz they're raising your child!
 
Good "Teaching" is a gift, it's somewhat of an art...
It takes love and patience, and someone with a big heart!
 
All of these qualities, fulfill a valuable need...
I think we can agree, that "Teaching" is noble indeed!
