Westport Elementary Schoolers Sing “Stand By Me”, a Gift to Westport

A January Board of Education meeting described excitement about a future song release from Westport fourth and fifth graders, a great triumph for the Arts Education programs during pandemic learning. Through Google Drive, the song was finally released and approved to be shared by The Westport Local Press by Stephen Zimmerman, Music and Visual Arts Coordinator for the Westport Public Schools.

The elementary school chorus groups worked with Backtrack Vocals, a professional Acapella group who assisted in putting together the video. The kids sang the song Stand By Me and hope their work could serve as a gift to their community during hard times. View above or by clicking this link.
