KJ Spreads Positive Messages & Holiday Cheer
KJ Reimensnyder-Wagner , fondly known as “ KJ ,” visited Jersey Shore Elementary School on Friday , December 16th . Thanks to the support of the PTO , students ' kindergarten through fifth grade joined KJ in the cafeteria for a school-wide concert . The songs were centered on the theme of friendship , acceptance , and being kind .
KJ was able to interweave personal narratives that influenced why she sings and performs , and shared her connections to several of the songs . The concert was interactive and allowed the students to echo her , stand and move around , or join her in chorus . She embedded a few holiday favorites , including “ Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer .” The students were excited and joyful to join her in this classical favorite !
As a special treat , KJ was able to stay and offer a song-writing workshop for students to attend during the 21st Century Community Learning Center program . Groups of students were able to choose from a variety of offerings Friday afternoon , including the song-writing workshop . We are pleased to announce that three songs were composed as a result of this special partnership !
