Wow. When we sat down to write our song with Harmony a month ago, we never thought it would be noticed this much! It just goes to show how powerful social media is these days! Upload to YouTube,a Tweet here, a Tweet there, and the song is being spread all over the place!
I'm not sure if your students are coming home and telling you about what has happened with our song, 'Residential Wreck', but here's the latest:
*it was played at 'Ke Na Now', which is the year end celebration for Indigenous students in St. James-Assiniboia School Division
*it is featured right now on the 'Project of Heart' website
*the Project of Heart organizers have invited our class, along with Mr. B's class and Harmony, to the unveiling of the tile installation on June 20th; they'll be sharing our song with the crowd
*Professors Frank Deere (University of Manitoba) and Kevin Lamoureux (University of Winnipeg) talked about it in their weekly podcast, 'The Frank and Kevin Show'!
Exciting stuff! Ultimately though, the message is reaching the survivors. Our friend Elaine loved the song, and has shared it with her entire family.
Please feel free to share the YouTube link with your friends and family!
