So - one cool thing I did in 2018 - I co-wrote this song with St. Louis Park High School students for Children First and the 25th anniversary of its annual Ice Cream Social in May - the song is called "St. Louis Park - One of a Kind"
Enjoy, more info below - please share with anyone from St. Louis Park or who might be interested in a "St. Louis Park Anthem"! Thanks!
The Children First Anthem: St. Louis Park - One of a Kind can now be enjoyed in video. To celebrate the 25th anniversary of Children First Ice Cream Social in May, a special song was written by Dan Israel with high school students Zoey Zachek, Chloe Richardson and Ayanna Nathan. Keyboards are played by Mitchell VonEschen. Members of the St. Louis Park High School Band directed by Steve Schmitz appear in the long-play version of the video.The song was recorded in studio at Biasmix (by David J Russ) and Steven Cohenproduced the video. You can check them out on You Tube: The Children First Anthem: Vocals Only and Long-Play version with band adaptation.

AND HERE ARE THE SONG LYRICS!
St. Louis Park - One of a Kind
We can all be together, in below-freezing weather,
And summers at the Rec Center pool,
Children First, ice cream social,
Aquila fireworks show,
In fall, then we're headed back to school
And summers at the Rec Center pool,
Children First, ice cream social,
Aquila fireworks show,
In fall, then we're headed back to school
We can all be together,
Orioles and Red Knights of a feather,
Homecoming, sports, and plays you love to see,
Hanging out with friends,
Hoping it never ends,
It's all a part of our community
Orioles and Red Knights of a feather,
Homecoming, sports, and plays you love to see,
Hanging out with friends,
Hoping it never ends,
It's all a part of our community
Teachers, parents, friends who encourage,
Walking, biking, miles of trails to ride,
Helping others not get discouraged,
We freely volunteer our precious time
Walking, biking, miles of trails to ride,
Helping others not get discouraged,
We freely volunteer our precious time
We can all be together,
We can make a great place better,
If we set our minds to filling others' cups,
Not helping ourselves only,
If someone's hungry, sad, or lonely,
We can find a way to lift that person up
We can make a great place better,
If we set our minds to filling others' cups,
Not helping ourselves only,
If someone's hungry, sad, or lonely,
We can find a way to lift that person up
We're no better than anyone,
We just want everyone to shine,
Can't wait for flowers, got to grow some,
With love, patience, hope, and bright sunshine
We just want everyone to shine,
Can't wait for flowers, got to grow some,
With love, patience, hope, and bright sunshine
See the seniors help kids reading,
All the people you'll be meeting,
Diversity in action, not just lines,
Black, white, no one is better,
'Cause we're all in this together,
St. Louis Park, one of a kind
All the people you'll be meeting,
Diversity in action, not just lines,
Black, white, no one is better,
'Cause we're all in this together,
St. Louis Park, one of a kind
St. Louis Park, one of a kind
St. Louis Park, one of a kind
St. Louis Park, one of a kind
St. Louis Park, one of a kind
St. Louis Park, one of a kind
