Effort to save Mission Valley gets a theme song

A group of parents hoping to save Mission Valley from the Shawnee Mission School District’s proposal to shutter it at the end of this school year have unleashed a new weapon: a theme song.

Click here to give it a listen.

With lyrics like, “Save Mission Valley, it’s part of our community; Save Mission Valley, education before efficiency,” the song implores the board of education to reject the proposed school closing, which would send most current students to Indian Hills for the 2011-2012 school year.

Find out more about the group at their Web page.
