Making a Difference

The fifth grade choral class at James River Day School wanted to share a song with family and friends to celebrate collecting more than 8,000 cans of food during a school-wide Thanksgiving food drive. When the students couldn't find the right song, their teacher, Paddy Dougherty, helped them write their own song, "Reach Out." Last week, the students and Dougherty visited a local recording studio to record and produce the song, which may be picked up for use by one of the non-profit organizations interested in the final results. The cost of the recording was underwritten by James River Day School, just one way the school encourages creativity and supports the children in pursuing their dreams. The lyrics of "Reach Out" will touch your heart.
