[LM_NET] copyright for tune for school song?

[Marti Alt <MALT@GRACEBRETHREN.ORG>]

Our enrichment teacher wants to have one of her classes make a school theme song.  
Most likely they will put the words to a familiar tune.  The students would like it 
to be "fun, modern, and popular" so it won't be to the tune of something like 
"Twinkle, twinkle little star."  Since no money is involved and it is in a school 
setting, are there any copyright laws that she needs to be aware of?

Thanks,
