GRANT 100th ANNIVERSARY - 2006


Grant Centennial Song

A dream became reality in nineteen hundred five.
A house of education where our children all could thrive.
And soon the neighborhood would have,
Constructed on Virginia Ave.,
A spirited red schoolhouse come alive.
 
Embracing the diversity the neighborhood comprised,
The tolerance you value so has always been realized.
Providing the foundation of our children's education,
Families soon came to say in Sunset Park we'll stay; for...
 
Chorus:
 
Grant, how you enchant, your spirit moves me with song.
The pride I feel inside knowing I'll always belong.
Through ups and downs and changes, the resilience you display,
Continues to be modeled by schools near and far away.
 
Grant, your name I chant, filled with the love I'll always hold for you.
 
The families grew, your numbers too, your halls were in a whirl.
In nineteen thirty-seven you relocated to Pearl.
With staff and parents' guiding light,
Your students' futures launched in flight,
The faces on your walls shine bright with memories of you; oh,
 
Chorus:
 
Grant, how you enchant, your spirit moves me with song.
The pride I feel inside knowing I'll always belong.
Through ups and downs and changes, the resilience you display,
Continues to be modeled by schools near and far away.
Grant, your name I chant, filled with the love I'll always hold for....
Grant, your name I chant, filled with the love I'll always hold for....
 
Grant, your name I chant, filled with the love I'll always hold for you.
