Making the Best Better for Tomorrow’s World
We are the B.C. Swinney Jets
Soaring to reach the sky.
There are no limits to our success.
When you meet us we’ll pass the test.
That’s the Swinney way.
The red, white, and the mighty blue
Worn proud in all we do.
We are the B.C. Swinney Jets you and I,
And remember the Jets fly high.
Today, I will do more than I have to do. I will treat others as I want to be treated, And I will try to become a better person.
