Rap Contest              
Poster Contest Winners

We asked youngsters at Boys & Girls Clubs in Virginia to develop some raps about the values they were learning. The winning entries are shown below:

 

1st Place



CJ Burchett of Harrisonburg was awarded a $50 U.S. Savings Bond for his winning Rap entitled Compassion.
 

Compassion
by CJ Burchett (age 10)

I am kind to others, I am helpful too,
I am com-pass-ion-ate, how about you?
When others are hurt I feel their pain,
Day or night, I never complain;
I always think before I act,
I have compassion, that's a fact;
Compassion is not just a word it's a way to be,
And compassionate is the way for me!

2nd Place



Lexie Holloway was one of a dozen youngsters at the South River Club in
Rockingham County who under the guidance of Tasha Jones, Unit Program Director, submitted entries in the
Values in Alignment Rap Contest.
 

Values
by Lexie Holloway (age 10)

I'm accountable in what I say and what I do...
     and that's cool. Yeah
I set goals encouraging others to work towards
     achieving them. Yeah
I help those who include others
I care aboutpeople who are different from
     some of us.
Responsibility, Integrity, Compassion Yeah
Achievement and Ambition Yeah
 

3rd Place



Grace Guthrie of the
South River Club
earned a second place
award for her Rap.
 

Honesty is Real
Grace Guthrie (age 9)

Honesty is real so you should find that you
     should not steal.
You know you can't judge a book by its
     cover…be real, don't steal.
For ever and ever and ever be truthful
     to one another
Be kind, be nice be honest, be truthful...
     but never steal.
