John Legend & Tay Da Prince: Love One Another
Featuring SBCE Students
Through connections to Joseph Natale, SBCE students were invited to be featured in John Legend's and nephew Tay Da Prince's "Love One Another". The song's message is very inspiring and represents some of SBCE's core values. This was a very unique and exclusive opportunity for our students to work with some very influential celebrities and producers. Students were honored to be in a music video with some celebrities, including John Legend and Tay Da Prince.
Holiday Song "Time to Wake Up"
SBCE students collaborated together to write and perform a song for the holidays.
SBCE Active Poem "I am an Oak Tree"
SBCE Youth studied all about the Montecito Fires and Mudslides. They learned about the impacts on the land, sea, and people. They hiked and saw it firsthand.
They learned about the science of the effects of fire, particularly on the Oak Tree that can survive intense heat, yet survive. Then they used an analogy of loss and rebirth, wrote, and performed this beautiful poem, "I Am an Oak Tree"
