Music Monday Celebrated from Space

Posted: May 7, 2013

On Monday May 6th, students, teachers and parents of Saint Andrews Elementary School had the opportunity to enjoy a sing-along with the Canadian Commander of the International Space Station, Chris Hadfield, who played his guitar and sang from space along with earth-bound Ed Robertson of the Canadian group “Barenaked Ladies” ! This high tech. and high flying event was a CBC production shared with other schools all across Canada, all in recognition of Music Monday!  This “out of the world experience”   was just one element of the school’s assembly reflecting the importance of music education. The remainder of the assembly featured performances by students of dance and music numbers performed under “black light” which created a good deal of amusement and novelty.
