If This Video Doesn’t Make You Proud of O’Maley Innovation Middle School Then You’ve Got Zero Heart

See this is the kinda thing that brings a school together like nothing else.  Whichever school administrator greenlighted this deserves like a thousand percent raise and I’m not even joking.  You can’t put a pricetag on how much this type of thing will do for school and community spirit.,

Frickin billiant!!!!

The O’Maley Innovation Middle School community recently came together to create a lipdub video of our SAILS theme song “Brave!”

  1. Hi Joey,
    Thank you so much for posting this. We have an 8th grader at O’Maley and all she has been talking about is the Lipdub. It brought the whole school together under the banner of the SAILS program which stands for Service, Acceptance, Integrity and Leadership. Incredibly positive and powerful messages. The school has undergone a transformation which has been remarkable to witness.

  2. Don’t forget “SUCCESS” , Mayor Kirk. (the last “S” in SAILS) After all, when you have performed service, given acceptance, shown integrity, and exhibited leadership, you have success and pride in yourself!! Have a Happy day!

  3. Is it really only a bit over a year ago when we rid ourselves of the Albatross the CASC was? This is a tribute to what kids can do if they WANT to and the opportunity is PROVIDED for them to do so. Kudos to the kids, they DESERVE them; along with those who allowed this project to come to fruition.

  5. Awesome! Thanks for posting another positive view of Gloucester and it’s great community. We need to see, hear, and share all the positive things our kids are doing. Too much of our news and media attention is given over to the misfits and losers. We need to embrace and support all that’s positive in Gloucester and the rest of the world!

    “Children Poem
    Our children are our legacy. The way they act reflect on their parents
    The Little Things In Life
    BY: (Nancy M. Elingson)= (Keep Source if used) 🙂
    One day I came into your life,
    as an empty little page;
    On which your every word, or action,
    Will forever be engraved .

    So keep in mind when you’re upset,
    the authority that you hold;
    Your every word, and every action,
    My tender little heart will mold.

    As I grow, I will make mistakes,
    And at times I’ll frustrate you.
    Remember, It’ll take years to see,
    The hurt harshly spoken words will do.

    Always diligently take the time to consider,
    Whatever actions you choose to take.
    I know sometimes I will need correction,
    Be mindful, my character do not brake.

    When I have grown, I will bring you joy,
    and fill your heart with delight.
    For you will see the time you’ve taken,
    has encouraged me to do what’s right.

    I will bring respect to your name,
    Never sorrow, or disgrace.
    Then just like you, I will too,
    make this world a better place. 🙂
