Rise and Shine

A program for school community

School Community

The Rise and Shine Program at Washington Irving Elementary is a great way for our students to kick off the day. The program begins at 8:00 AM, and the entire school meets to celebrate our school achievements.

Throughout the year, different classrooms are featured in the program. Also, students recite the school creed and sing the school song:

School Creed

I am a bright child.
I am unique and special.
There is no one I would rather be than me.
Today I have the courage to be the best that I can be.
I am responsible for my own actions.
I have a brain.
I can learn.
I am loved.
I WILL succeed!

School Song

Washington Irving, Washington Irving,
Washington Irving is the B-E-S-T!
Washington Irving, Washington Irving,
Washington Irving L-I-O-N-S!
We'll have lots of fun,
Where teachers help you learn!
OH - W.I. - Yes!
That's the SCHOOL for me! (Rah! Rah!)
