A few responses were:
• "Music connects me through the beat and friends.” (Gr. 5 Student)
• "It makes me feel alive and helps boost my confidence." (Gr. 5 Student)
• "Music connects me through all the memories it evokes - some beautiful and
amazing as well as not so much.  Music can bring back events that you thought
were long forgotten."  (4/5 Multiage Teacher )
• "Music seems to be able to take my feelings that I can't express and put music
and words to them.  Hole in the World, was written by Don Henley after 9/11. 
This day felt like the end of the world to me and i remember squeezing my
children a little tighter that night.  I couldn't imagine life was going to be
normal again.  It indeed felt like there was a "hole in the world.”" (Title 1
Teacher)
Students in grades 6-8 Band also found quotes and fun music facts to be read
every day in March to also help celebrate.
