Over one hundred fifth grade students from Beverly J. Martin, Enfield, Caroline and South Hill elementary schools analyzed this question using vocal performance, music making, interpretive dance, art and poetry. Whitehead collaborated with ICSD music teachers, Ross Mizrahi, Dorothy Preston and Nicole Temple on the music for the concert.
ICSD art teachers Ana Goldsmith, Marsha Accera, Kate Praisner and Dianne Lynn worked with fifth grade students to create prints for t-shirts worn by students at the concert and art work displayed before and during the program.
ICSD fifth grade teachers, Joyce Wigsten, Ann Kolodji, Robert Graham, Mike Cecere, Ryan Conklin, Danielle Gardner, Allison Kootsikas, Micheryl Blake, Kimberly Blackmur, Carolyn Belle and Kimberly Lazzaro all participated in the project. Many teachers engaged students in projects or discussions where student’s personal connections to music and art were explored through poetry, writing or art.
Choreographer, G’Quan Booker will lead Enfield and BJM students in choreography performed of Circle of Life from the Lion's King.
