Town Hall Concert

A guy named Steve James has been at school over the past couple of weeks teaching the children songs about building character, being nice, and treating each other fairly.  He does assemblies and then has the children perform his songs to wild acclaim by no one but their parents.  Tonight was the concert the children performed in, and we dutifully went to listen.  Blythe in particular has been singing her song for days, a song called "I'll be Nice," with strange Ghanaian words.  She's been saying, "Bomo papa jimmy, say mo no nee hee," which, of course, means nothing to the rest of us.  Translated it means "I'll do the right thing."  But tonight we got to hear how it sounded with the rest of the song.  Brandt sang a song called "Children of Many Colors" that sounded like a Native American something.  It was a silly concert, but the children both sang very well and we are always happy to support their academic programs.
