Wow...thanks for all who responded.
These are what your collegues consider to be the best SA pieces:

ChoralNet has a listing of "Unison/2-part Festival pieces" at
ChoralNet > Repertoire > Lists > Voicing > Treble.

*************

I absolutely love Andrea Klouse' Kyrie in 2 part. My 6th graders learned it
quickly and did it in a cncert last week.
Also, look at "Where Are the Angels?" by Linda Spevacek.
and "Every Child's a Promise" by Lloyd and Marci Larson.
Donald Moore has some great canon arrangements, too.

**********************

Take a look at Ruth Elaine Schram's arrangements. Many of them are unison
with an optional Part II. I attended an elementary music teachers' reading
session of her work last week, and here are her pieces from the session that
I think would be appropriate for a festival (my personal favorites are noted
with an asterisk):
America the Beautiful*
Oh Shenandoah*
Picture a Playground (very touching--"Picture a playground filled with
the happy sound of children who dream and explore with no thought of
war")*
May the Road Rise to Meet You (very beautiful)*
Gloria and Alleluia (a cappella)*
For the Beauty of the Earth
Gift of Life (beautiful!)*
Swing Low, Sweet Chariot
Peace Like a River
My World (environmental theme)
Jacob's Ladder
Ubi Caritas

*******************************

1. "My Own Song "by Crystal LaPoint Kowalski, Published by Hinshaw= 2pt.
absolutely beautiful and meaningful to girls.

1. Music Has Brought Us Together - arr. Jerry Estes
2. Yankee Doodle Spectacular - arr. Linda Spevacek
3. Joyful, Joyful - arr. Roger Emerson
4. When You Believe - arr. Audrey Snyder & John Moss
5. The Frim Fram Sauce - arr. Greg Gilpin
6. Al Shlosha D'Varim - by Allan Naplan
7. Ching-A-Ring Chaw (Unison) by Aaron Copland
8. The River Sleeps Beneath the Sky - by Mary Lynn Lightfoot
9. The Water Is Wide - arr. by Jane Ellen
10. The Rhythm of Life - arr. John Leavitt
11. Cherry Riddle Song - arr. Judy Herrington/S. Glick
12. Hakuna Matata or Circle of Life from "Lion King" - arr. by Mac Huff or
Keith Christopher
13. The Lion Sleeps Tonight - arr. Jeff Funk
14. The Guitar Man - by Joyce Eilers

***********************************

A general recommendation is the CME series, Boosey and Hawkes, edited by
Doreen Rao. I've done many pieces from this catalogue over the last ten
years with my 120-voice girls choir of 4th - 6th graders, and my 60-voice
Middle School Chorus. They are always first-rate: challenging but
accessible, and beautifully presented.

Neat speech piece called "Too Many Cats" in two parts. Forget the composer's
name. "Manx Lullaby" by Lori Ann Dolloff is a beautiful unison piece.
