"Our Performing Arts Company would have been very busy this spring performing at over 35 events raising money for non-profit organizations around Northern New Jersey. It is important for us to keep this commitment alive for our students and to allow them to continue to use their talent to give back to others," Roy added. "Although we're not able to perform live together yet, it was a really special group effort to share this song. I'm so proud of all of these kids! They are so committed to what they do and really represent our mission in the greatest way!"
