On May 24th, Grizzly Pines Elementary School had their "End of the Year" celebration.
The children danced, sang and put on a historical program for us that was just lovely.

Marc Honeycutt, long time friend of Grizzly Pines, plus one of our bus drivers, was
given this beautiful quilt, as well as several other gifts to commemorate his retirement
and upcoming move to Oregon.

Marc, you'll really be missed!

During his time at Grizzly Flats, Marc taught our children many things...
including these songs:
 

Poor Raine

Poor Raine, 10 years down the drain
He squandered all of his life,
Just like Barney Fife.

Poor Raine, he's got a big brain
But he doesn't use it at all
It might as well be small.

Derrick Labell

Derrick Labell, Derrick Labell
Thinks he is going to heaven
But he will probably go to France.

Mitchell Casey Wentzel

Oh!  Mitchell Casey Wentzel, Mitchell Casey Wentzel
Mitchell Casey Wentzel, you're a good boy, yes you are.

Oh!  Mitchell Casey Wentzel, Mitchell Casey Wentzel,
Mitchell Casey Wentzel,--you're   a   star!

       
  Madison

Oh!   Madison, if she left I surely would be sadison.
Oh!   Madison, she's the best friend I ever really hadison.

 
Psst:  Marc sings “The Banana Song” using the names of everyone on the bus.

Johnny Heath

Johnny Heath, Go brush your teeth
His mother said, "Get in there and brush your teeth!"
Johnny Heath, don't make a mess on the floor,
Don't spread toothpaste on the door.


Austin Fitzpatrick
(Used to use red hair gel
on his very, very short hair)

Bloody scalp, bloody scalp
Brave, courageous and bold
Long live his name
Long live his glory
And long may his story be told 

Jasper

Jasper's back, Jasper's back
He went on vacation
to the east side of the nation
To visit his friend, Mickey Mouse.
 

Kaitlyn

Kaitlyn the Manatee
She flips and flops until you drop
She rolls and strolls until you cuss
She's Kaitlyn, the Manatee

Kaitlyn the Manatee
When she alights your bus at night
You are higher than a soaring kite.
She's Kaitlyn, the Manatee. 

Mrs. Kelley

Mrs. Kelley, we love you even though your feet are smelly
Mrs. Kelley, we love you even more than Marc's Big Belly.
Mrs. Kelley, Mrs. Kelley, Mrs. Kelley


Cassie

Cassie, Cassie, Cassie
Why are you so sassy?
You could be so classy
Cassie Girl
Why don't you give it a whirl.


Mrs. Haboush

Mrs. Haboush, you're the best teacher in the world.
Mrs. Haboush, you're the best teacher in all the land.
Mrs. Haboush, you're the teacher we mostly adore.
Mrs. Haboush


Worms

The worms crawl in, the worms crawl out,
The worms play pinochle on your snout.
They eat your eyes.  They eat your nose.
They eat the jelly between your toes. 

 
Brenna 

Brenna Wentzel is a pretty nice girl,
but she doesn’t have a lot to say
Brenna Wentzel is a pretty nice girl,
but she changes from day to day
I wanna tell her that I love her a lot,
but I gotta get a belly full of wine
Brenna Wentzel is a pretty nice girl,
some day I’m gonna make her mine,
oh yeah.
Some day I’m gonna make her mine
