Song Writing Intensive

Alan Johnstone School
In the Hills of Hardisty

Chorus:
In the hills of Hardsity
Is a place we all call home
Family and friends
And Allan Johnstone
In the hills of Hardisty
Everyone knows your name
You'll be glad you came
To the hills of Hardisty.

Verse 1:
Allan Johnstone centre of our town
Generations have come and gone
Big and small building bodies and minds
Hardisty school has it going on

Verse 2:
Hop on a bus to seek adventure
AJS alive with Spirit Days
Striving to be the best we can be
Celebration, dance, voices raised.

Chorus:
In the hills of Hardsity
Is a place we all call home
Family and friends
And Allan Johnstone
In the hills of Hardisty
Everyone knows your name
You'll be glad you came
To the hills of Hardisty.

Verse 3:
Gusty winds and wildlife roaming
Tank farms, rodeo and grain
Flags fly above the railroad station
It all began with the CPR train.

Verse 4:
Vivid sunsets on the prairie
Eagle soaring in the sky
The raging river and the calm, blue lake
Neighbours say hello and goodbye.

Chorus:
In the hills of Hardsity
Is a place we all call home
Family and friends
And Allan Johnstone
In the hills of Hardisty
Everyone knows your name
You'll be glad you came
To the hills of Hardisty.

Bridge:
In 1907 a small school was built
In '55 Allan Johnstone was honoured with grace
Hardisty has grown over the years
Special memories are in this place.

Chorus:
In the hills of Hardsity
Is a place we all call home
Family and friends
And Allan Johnstone
In the hills of Hardisty
Everyone knows your name
You'll be glad you came
To the hills of Hardisty.

You'll be glad you came
To the hills of Hardisty.

(written on November 18, 2005 by Grade 5 and 6 students with Mary Kieftenbeld and Chris Andrew at Alan Johnstone School in Hardisty, Alberta)
