The Sandy Hook School shooting rocked the country. One month after the horrific shooting, 21 students gathered to record the Academy Award-winning song “Over the Rainbow.”
They got some celebrity help with the song as singer-songwriter Ingrid Michaelson lent her voice, while Talking Heads and Tom Tom Club rockers Chris Frantz and Tina Weymouth opened their studio to the project.
The song is available digitally on Amazon and iTunes. Proceeds will go to Newtown Youth Academy and United Way of Western Connecticut. Here are the kids recording the track:
The song is a beautiful tribute to those that didn’t make it and the families still left behind. Many people have shared their messages from around the world to the people of Sandy Hook including the kids from PS22 who sent this message to them singing the Sandy Hook Elementary School song.
