 In Loving Memory of Jo Anne Greene-Beatty
by River Bailey

 Miss Greene-Beatty whom we all loved
God sent to the sky above.

The day was very sad.
No one was glad.

She taught us to sing.
So we could give joy that we bring.

To keep our memories alive
We sing our voices up to the sky.

Many people were sad and they cried,
But we will not forget the day when Ms. Greene-Beatty died.
