Stand Up

Stand Up

Stand up - 

say, “Don’t!” 

“Let’s not!” 

“I won’t!” 

Be kind,

be smart –

use your mind

and your heart!

Stand up –

say, “Hey!”

“Better try

another way!”

Be kind,

be smart-

use your mind

and your heart!

Be kind,

be smart-

use your mind

and your heart-

yeah!

Stella Castella

Note:  You might want to experiment with clapping, snapping, etc. to enhance the experience for the kids in your care.

Invitation:  Who’d like to write more verses for this?  With your class?

I’m sure you’ve noticed that a lot of people are putting energy into the effort to stop all types of bullying.  Whether you’re following Russell Wilson’s Pass the Peace campaign or participating in the blue shirt movement – or doing your own special thing, I applaud your work in this area.  A parent once told me that she remembered her son’s year in my care as being a time when mistreatment of others was not allowed.  That’s one of the nicest compliments I’ve ever received.
