Ladies And Gentlemen, Presenting Ms. Boyd's Eighth Grade English Carolers

Ms. Boyd's class treated administration and fellow classmates to an original Christmas rap and a classic Christmas carol last week.

Martinez Jr. High eighth grader CJ Johnson wrote a Christmas rap and his teacher, Melissa Boyd, decided to include it in a tour of the school, while her class serenaded other teachers, administrators and fellow students last week.

Martinez Patch got wind of the activities and was there to film a portion of the performance. Here are the lyrics to CJ's rap, since the sound is a little hard to hear:

Just sit back and relax and have some fun,
Cuz it's Christmas baby, your number one.
You got your presents, good times, and the break,
Big dinners, breakfast and buffets.
