we all belong...

This poor blog - never gets any attention these days but wanted to start capturing some important moments from this Spring ...

This year, Cassidy's school was one of five chosen from our school district to work with a singer-songwriter on a full year Literacy Through Music project  - each grade 5 classroom in those 5 schools worked with Greg to write an original song about one of the "ism" issues - Cassidy's class was assigned racism. They worked all year with Greg on the song, music and performance, and then on one amazing evening in April, all those grade 5 classes performed their original songs with Gregg's band. We could not believe how super the performance was - professional, uplifting, inspiring - the gift Gregg gave those children - and those of us who attended - was beyond measure.

A collage of moments from the night - the artwork is the huge mural that her class made to support their song about combatting racism.


And here is the video of the performance - We All Belong!
