Fwd: Music Monday -- for the school website

On Monday, May 4, we will be participating in the annual Music Monday event. At 12:45 pm, we will be singing the song called  "We Are One" and the French version "Nous sommes unis" in our school Courtyard. This song was written by a 16 year old songwriter, Connor Ross, and it was written specifically for the Music Monday event.The purpose of Music Monday is to unite schools in their love of music and to promote the value and importance of music education. On Music Monday, we hope to fill the skies with music. Upon listening to this wonderful song, I'm sure you'll agree it has a powerful message, along with a memorable melody and catchy vibe. 

To see the video of "We Are One", go to:  http://www.musicmonday.ca/anthem/


To listen to the French version (Nous sommes unis), go to
