Elizabeth Park Elementary in Paradise is sharing the message Just Be You! with a new song and video launched today.

Local singer-songwriter Damian Follett joined with Grade 6 students in developing the song that was largely student-led and student-driven.

Music Specialist and Teacher Librarian Andrea Lane-Gardner says the students persevered through COVID lockdowns to learn about how a song is created. She thanked Follett who she says was very generous with his time working virtually with the students.

Follett calls the project one of the most rewarding experiences of his career.
