Parker's Spring Concert


Today Parker enjoyed singing at his spring concert. The Pine Bend concert was centered around the school service project for the year, H2O for Life. The H2O for Life School to School project was created to provide funds to directly support water projects located at schools in developing countries that lack an adequate and sustainable water source. Our school is sponsoring a school in Mozambique, Africa. We were able to view pictures of the specific school and hear the kids talk about the necessity of water to our lives all around the world.
The concert was wonderful! Each of the classes dressed in their color Pine Bend Shirts (given to them from the PTSA) and it just looked so cool on stage. The awareness for the world that the children are being taught today is just such a refreshing outlook and a great way to "pay forward" the gifts and privileges that they have and sometimes take for granted in their own lives. The schools hope is that they learn at a young age to support and give back to the earth that which the earth has given to them. What a "bright piece of sunshine" in an otherwise rainy, gray day!

I was in Houston during the concert. I'm happy to hear a very proud report of a nice concert and a good job singing...I'll look forward to the rebroadcast over the local cable channel in the coming weeks, too!
