Guest Posted May 20, 2006 Share Posted May 20, 2006 Proud by Heather Small. This was played as the children walked into assembly in a school I worked in on supply. It really lifted the children and set the tone for celebrating achievement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
