We attended the "Hope of America" at the Marriott Center April 29, 2008. Mikelle and several thousand other elementary students (primarily 5th graders) have been practicing songs and actions all year to come together on this night to perform. It is a patriotic and moving experience to be a part of. Songs about the military, our independence, Martin Luther King, and our country are all beautiful and stir the pride within! Our favorite song comes at the end of the show entitled "We Can Be a Light" (see lower picture). The Marriott Center in dark and the kids use their flashlights as they sing and light up the room. Mikelle really enjoyed being a part of it.
