BALBOA MAGNET: MY SCHOOL

 BALBOA MAGNET: The Most Awesome School 

Balboa Magnet : Elementary School

Why Is Balboa Magnet an Awesome School?

Balboa Magnet is an awesome school for many reasons. First of all, there are no bullies. That means us children don't have to worry about teasing or taunting. Also, there is this thing called a buddy. Fifth and fourth graders have 2nd or 1st grade buddies. They do stuff together and it is a great thing to keep children entertained while learning.

Go there. It is AWESOME.

The Lights All Shine Lyrics:

She lit a candle in New Orleans 
He lit a candle in Beijing 
They lit their candles in Vienna, Havana, Jerusalem, London, Hanoi 
She lit a candle in Toronto
 He lit a candle in Beirut
 They lit their candles in Nairobi, Jakarta, St. Petersburg, Bangalore, Rome 
The glow is rising all over the world And now we're starting to see, 
A light that shines out from anyone here Is a beacon to you and me 
And when the lights all shine
 Oh when the lights All shine
 And when the lights all shine As one As one 
All around the world (All around the world they glow) They'll glow
 And all will know( And all around the world they'll know) 
Our journey to peace has begun
 Oh when they shine 
Winter Fantasy Lyrics:

1. Snow flakes falling all over town,
slipping, sliding, ev’rybody rushin’ ‘round
There’s an icy chill in the air
telling us that winter’s really here, Oh!
I’m so glad that winter is here!
Grab your sled and let out a happy cheer because it’s
snowing, blowin g, all through the day.
Winter winds will surely blow all your cares away!
2. Dashing through the snow,
in a one-horse open sleigh.
O’er the fields we go,
laughing all the way!
Bells on bobtails ring,
making spirits bright.
What fun it is to laugh and sing a sleighing song tonight. Oh!
Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way!
Oh, what fun it is to ride in a one-horse open sleigh. Oh!
Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way!
Oh, what fun it is to ride in a one-horse open sleigh.
GROUP ONE - sing verse 1
GROUP TWO - sing verse 2
All: Winter’s really here!

Halloween

There's only one night like this all year,

only one night where spirits appear.

An evening meant to be spent out night,

yes it's halloween and you cannot hide.

When the ghosts come out,

and the goblins creep,

and the skeletons rattle,

How could anybody sleep? 

And the monsters march,

while the witches take flight,

Yes Halloween is a very unusual night.

Drop your feers and off you go,

Join the traveling costume show.

Grab your sack and attack the street,

But you better start to trick or treat.

When the ghosts come out,

and the goblins creep,

and the skeletons rattle,

How could anybody sleep? 

And the monsters march,

while the witches take flight,

Yes Halloween is a very unusual night.

Yes Halloween is a very unusual night.

On october 31st take flight for candy but be ready to be afread, or else!!!!!!
