PS22 Chorus is a group of 5th grade students from a public elementary school in Staten Island, New York. This inspiring group is composed of ordinary kids doing extraordinary feats such as singing on stage with Katy Perry and singing for the President himself, Barrack Obama.
In 2015, the group decided to dedicated their last song of the year, during the last practice of the year, to one of their favorite teachers, Mrs. Adriana Lopez, who was diagnosed with breast cancer. How they sang the song and how their teacher reacted to the song was heart-warming (ready your tissues).
“I’m Gonna Love You Through It” by Martina McBride
When you’re weak, I’ll be strong
When you let go, I’ll hold on
When you need to cry, I swear that I’ll be there to dry your eyes
When you feel lost and scared to death,
Like you can’t take one more step
Just take my hand, together we can do it
I’m gonna love you through it.
These children are beautiful, so much good stuff here! Just look at the kid’s faces and their vibe. The song is like a prayer, already affirming Mrs. Lopez coming through her battle healed. And LOVE CAN heal anything.
Share this as you say a prayer for healing for this teacher and an appreciation for the kids and the other teacher helping to put all this together.
