Together We Can

Let us Recite

Together we stand, strong and tall,
Helping each other, we never fall.

Cheering aloud, we shout and sing,
Teamwork can overcome anything.

Win or lose, we always share,
Our bond of trust is always there.

With each hand joined, the goal is near,
Team spirit fills the air with cheer.

Together we shine, our hearts as one,
For in our team, the joy’s begun!
