The Third Grade Penguins sing to us of the transformative power of love in this touching music video. In December’s Annual Winter Program Sue Ford, Rainbow’s Music Director, helped each grade write original songs on the theme of love. The audience was touched by the children’s simple and profound message that love might truly be the most natural and easiest gift to both give and receive.
The 2nd grade River Otters wrote this original song in collaboration with their teachers for Rainbow’s Annual Winter Program last month. As one 2nd grader put it best, “We wrote about how we know we’re loved.” Rainbow children grow up knowing their loved from the moment they walk on campus. From teachers who design their classrooms to feel like home, to classmates who learn to communicate their feelings with honesty and compassion, children are exposed to the raw power of Love through their Rainbow community and their Rainbow education every day. These second graders however are unwilling to keep all that love for themselves. They take it one step further spreading their enthusiasm for love with cheeky grins and sincere joy as they sing out to us, “I love myself, hope you do to!”
This year our Annual Winter Program featured all original songs composed by our students in collaboration with their teachers. Our Music Director, Sue Ford, took on this robust task with zealous passion and creativity. With “Love” as their muse, these First Grade Wolves reflected on what they most cherish in their lives. Together they chose the object of their affection with ease… the world. They simply love their world. With images invoking nature and circles of family and friends, they share their sincere love with us, inviting us to join them in loving our dear world with trusting innocence and peace.
