Chorus:
Trust is earned not given
Someone you can rely on
Trust is so important
Someone you can rely on
Call and response:
I can always trust my friends
They’ll be with me to the end
Funny, kind, and caring
Awesome and nice
Brave and cool
Helpful and crazy
Bold and beautiful
So much to them oooo
So muchto them oooo
So much to them ooooo

About the Book
Hound Dog True
by Linda Urban
Do not let a mop sit overnight in water. Fix things before they get too big for fixing. Custodial wisdom: Mattie Breen writes it all down. She has just one week to convince Uncle Potluck to take her on as his custodial apprentice at Mitchell P. Anderson Elementary School. One week until school starts and she has to be the new girl again. But if she can be Uncle Potluck’s apprentice, she’ll have important work to do during lunch and recess. Work that will keep her safely away from the other fifth graders. But when her custodial wisdom goes all wrong, Mattie’s plan comes crashing down. And only then does she begin to see how one small, brave act can lead to a friend who is hound dog true.
