The British School

                                  In this ever changing world in which we live,

                                 To our future adults we give,

                         The strong values that mould the young,

                         So let the praises of our school be sung.

                       The British School of Rio is in our hearts.

                           Tradition and education it imparts.

                         Each generation we shape and guide,

                       Giving them opportunities far and wide.

                     The seeds for tomorrow's happiness we lay,

                        And character we build from day to day.                    

                                Always striving for the best,

                        So that our youth can triumph with zest.

                             Exploring what the present holds,

                         So that tomorrow's secrets will unfold.

                      Our school will be the essence of our souls,

               Something to look back on, when we've all achieved

                                            our goals.

     * I can't remember what year this took place but, I was asked to write a poem that could later be put to music with the idea of having a school anthem. It never happened, and I found the poem in the middle of all my papers and wanted to share it....After all I gave 30 years of my life to this establishment!
