From Oct. 8 through 10, the Lynbrook School District’s three elementary schools made a groundbreaking impact through a unique songwriting experience with their participation in the Theatre Within sponsored John Lennon Real Love Project. 

In celebration of John Lennon’s 84th birthday, an unprecedented districtwide initiative spanned Marion Street, Waverly Park and West End elementary schools where students took part in a compelling presentation of Lennon’s life and philosophies. Working collaboratively, students reinterpreted the lyrics of Lennon’s song "Real Love" to echo the values of their own school and community. Performances were recorded and video and pictures were captured, showcasing the collective spirit and creativity of the entire fifth grade. These will be compiled into a professional grade video for each building. This pioneering project stands as a testament to the power of art and education in celebrating cultural legacies in the Lynbrook community.
