Lyrics can be in English/Spanish/Italian/French/Portuguese/Greek/ German. Placements will encompass commercial cuts as well as TV/Film/Media in an INTERNATIONAL (world) market.

This is a request for a songwriter or writers to write both a school Alma Mater song and a School Spirit Song for Pendergrass Fairwold, a small self-contained school in South Carolina (http://fairwold.richlandone.org/home/). All 80 students are disabled with functional levels ranging from profound to educable, and/or with autism, emotional problems, and developmental delays. This is a project that is part of our 5-year school improvement plan. Unfortunately we have no money for this project. The writer(s) would of course get full credit for the lyrics and music. Fairwold would need full use of the lyrics and music but we could work some kind of partnership out if that kind of thing is possible. If you are inspired to write something, you can submit it here to the SongU.com listening page. Or, if you'd like more information you can contact David Keisler, teacher, at dkeisler@richlandone.org, tel: 803-735-3435 ext 304
