I wrote this eulogy about my Grandpa Ben for his funeral on Tuesday, December 9.  My son, Benjamin D. Ambrose, is named after my Grandpa Ben.  I used anecdotes from Grandpa's wake and my personal experiences as inspiration for this piece.

Mr. Heinegg started the wonderful tradition of in-classes rap battles among teachers and students on the day before a big vacation.  After seeing a great battle in Mr. Heinegg's period 6 class before Thanksgiving, my students have started to participate as well.  These are my holiday renditions of "Forever," "Tuesday," and "Don't Tell 'Em."  In my magnum opus "Forever:  A Celebration of Diverse Holidays," I tried very hard to represent Christmas, Kwanzaa, and Hanukkah.

Mr. Ambrose and Mr. Heinegg rap to the tune of "0 to 100" at the spirit rally as a way to hype up the upcoming rap battle.
