Be The One
Written by PPCA students Jennifer Morales, Kirsten Ocampo and Jomelys Gonzalez
Together as ONE,
we change our tomorrows.
We are a family,
for we know,
we're a team with a destiny,
a dream, and a goal.
The Puma Pride spirit
runs deep through our souls.
In this place,
we are who we are.
No judgement or shame.
We all are stars
striving to bring out
the best in each other,
within this pride
of sisters and brothers.
Here no one
is left behind.
That's our 212
state of mind.
Our Puma Pride spirit,
when all's said and done,
pushes us forward to:
BE THE ONE!
