Looking ahead to Once on This Island

Once on This Island is the junior high musical this year. Performances are on Friday and Saturday, May 7 and 8. It's the story of Ti Moune (tee MOON), a poor girl who lives on an island in the Caribbean, where poor people live very different lives from the grandes hommes--the rich people. Ti Moune saves the life of a rich boy, Daniel, and falls in love. What is her fate? The people of the island, the birds, the trees, and the gods of earth, water, love and death tell the story.

Singing for Christmas

I heard this story on Chicago's NPR station (WBEZ, 91.5 FM) while driving to school this morning. Listen to a seventh grader talk about singing and especially, singing for Christmas worship services.
