With the end of the year quickly approaching, Alice Cooper’s song is sure to be on everyone’s mind: “School’s out for summer / school’s out forever!”

Students are beginning to make plans for their two months of freedom and, of course, no summer would be complete without the perfect soundtrack. We asked students from all four grades what their favorite songs are right now to get an idea of what tunes will be the backdrop for this summer’s pool parties, bonfires, and beach getaways.  Here are their choices.
