Wilson's Creek Intermediate fifth grade teacher writes original rap song "Back to SPS"

(From Springfield Public Schools)

Joshua Kennedy is a fifth-grade teacher at Wilson’s Creek Intermediate School, where he has taught for 10 years. He also happens to be a rapper.

And this spring, he wrote an original song: “Back to SPS.”

“My goal for the song is just to show that we can have fun at school,” said Kennedy. “School is exciting, and we don’t take ourselves too seriously. School should be a fun place where everyone can have a good time.”

The original rap song “Back to SPS” features two lines with Superintendent John Jungmann, recorded in Central High School’s podcast room. Central High School media students were recorded providing back-up vocals at the end of the track.
