The auditorium at Ridgewood High School was rocking with Spanish music on Nov . 16 when Edgar René came to entertain .
Ridgewood students honored Tusky Valley students who were scheduled to come to the concert . hurricane hit Puerto Rico and his family relocated to Orlando , Florida .
“ All of the students have been practicing his Spanish songs since school started ,” Amy Lott from Ridgewood said . “ His songs are very inspirational with a focus on celebrating life , living your best life , that their lives are important , being happy and thankful for being alive , and ultimately loving yourself so you can spread love to others . His songs talk about even on rainy days and bad times , things will get better and there is always tomorrow . He also taught the kids how to salsa , a typical Spanish phrase said in Puerto Rico , and the opportunity to play Puerto Rican instruments .”
Lott said Ridgewood has had a Spanish concert since 2007 and feels it is a way to help motivate students to take and learn Spanish .
“ Music is an important way to learn the language and culture of another country , and his message is phenomenal ,” she said .
This year Spanish students from Garaway , New Philadelphia and Waterford joined Ridgewood for the concert . At Ridgewood all students taking Spanish attend the concert .
“ Tusky Valley was also supposed to join us but did not due to the tragic bus accident ,” Lott said . “ To honor them , we wore red , black and white . We kept their section open and made six signs for the six
lives that were lost . We made / signed cards in our Spanish classes . We began the concert with a moment of silence and prayer with officer Jose Hernandez . We collected $ 300 in donations for the families , and Edgar discussed the tragedy with the students and dedicated the concert to the Tusky Valley students and families . It was a great concert .”
