It Takes A Village

As if being at EDP until 6:00 isn't enough,

Mindess EDP students recently came back one evening

to perform, "It Takes A Village" for the Ashland School Committee and Administrators. BRAVO to all of them!

It Takes A Village

Words and Music by Michelle Smith

(Chorus) It takes a village to raise a child.

All together you take your turn as guide.

And as we grow and pass among you,

We're watching closely.

We learn from what we see

In the village that raises me.

As we pass from home to home,

As we pass from home to school,

You're the example for us all.

Are we kind or are we cruel?

Every member of the tribe models what are lives should be.

The adult we become depends not just on one.

Chorus

Take our hand and teach us well.

There's a lesson only you can tell.

Every beat from every drum…no matter how small,

Must sound with them all.

Chorus

It takes a village.

You are the village…..raising me.
