Elementary school fight songs!
Here's mine:
Panthers at OK
Sing to the tune of "The Pink Panther"
We're black and gold,
We're Panthers brave and bold;
our school's OK-hey-hey-hey.
We work, we play, do everything all day,
and that's OK!
OK's our school we think it's really cool and that's our rule-hu-hu-hu-hule.
Every year's a better year for us;
We're Panthers at OK...
Panthers at OK...
Panthers at OK...Yea!

I just sang this for Sean the other day. He said, "I don't know what's sadder that your school had a fight song or that you know it." hee hee hee.
You forgot to tell people to start snapping before they sing! It's a critical element of the song.
As your father, I'm worried about what you are doing at 2 AM in the morning to think of this.
Go Panthers!
1. 10,00 pullups, Old Spice, and Members Only jackets will make you live forever. Mr. Nutter
2. Fat Kids don't leave the cake walk room at Fun Night.
3. Field Day = Fat girls falling over in potato sacks and Kurt Wulzschenegger running 4 minute miles at the age of 7.
4. Halloween at OK was a little like Children of the Corn. We just marched outside in our costumes and stood in a big circle. I'm pretty sure they killed a goat when I was in 4th grade.
5. Val Cheatham didn't know his character Peter Pun would reach Cult Icon status before Doobie took the stage.
And the rest is history!
I always thought we were supposed to sing, "every year's ANOTHER year for us," instead of a BETTER year for us. This probably explains my flat outlook on life. I have a lot to reassess.
Other things OK:
1) I am finally at the age when I can recognize and seriously question the ridiculous name of our school. Who hasn't had that conversation with someone from outside the Bible belt and had to watch their face shrivel as you explained that you went to "OK Elementary?"
2) Mr. Nutter did not like it when you slid down the rope without trying to slow down. It resulted in rope burns and a mad Nutter.
3) Miss Linnebur stands before me in my memory... forever holding up an index finger to my puckered lips as I blow a slow and steady stream of air. If the air was warm, then I was breathing properly. I was never breathing properly.
4) I would check out "Great Moments in Soccer" every time I found it in the library and keep it for two weeks, just to make Nussbaum mad. He was the only other name on the checkout card. I would do the same with "5 Chinese Brothers" and both the Shel Silverstein books.
I would have felt guilty, but I thought we were being taught existentialism, and that every year was just another year. I may end up writing a letter of apology.
