Duanesburg Elementary School Is One Big Family [AUDIO]

I had the unique opportunity to visit a great school and a great grade school teacher, and it was all done by basically closing my eyes and picking a teacher's name off of their website, all because her first and last name rhymed. Must have been karma.Her name is Bridget Minute. Interesting name, and it kinda sorta rhymes, so I picked her strictly on that basis alone (heck, the name of the program is Readin', Writin' and Rhymin', so it fits perfectly). Ms. Minute teaches first grade, and seems to do a bang-up job there. The kids were ready to rhyme. Here is the song they wrote, to the tune of "the Adams Family" - It's the D.E.S. FAMILY (photos to follow below the lyrics)

Our school makes us proud, we love to read aloud

It's time to sing about the D.E.S. Family -

We're Mrs. Minute's class, we love to play and laugh,

We're really good at math

We're the D.E.S. Family

Veteran's Day, Pajama Day, the News Show!

It's really really cool, at the Duanesburg school

We can't wait for the ghouls!

The D.E.S. Family (woooooooooo)

Thanks very much to Principal Andrea Conover and Music Teacher (and great rhymer in her own right - Mary-Clare Waltz).

And a final big thank you to Hannaford Supermarkets - a very long time sponsor and supporter of this program!
