Farmgirl At Large: Coolest Choir Teacher ever

Monday, April 27, 2009

I can't resist a Coldplay song! (Especially one from Viva La Vida, I love that Album!)

Lise M. said...: I saw this teacher on Bonnie Hunt's talk show - he's really enthusiastic and LOVES his kids. Bonnie got a donation of $10,000 for HIM and another $5,000 for his choir. He said he was going to spend half of his money on the kids, too! Thanks for the encouraging look at education and the arts in school. Maybe there's hope for us...; 3:56 PM, May 28, 2009
