It must run in the family... I just found out my uncle, a dedicated musician in Maine, was invited to Iowa to help put on a concert as part of Project Green Earth on April 27th at an elementary school there. It sounds like it was really neat and put on in a wholistic manner. 

 "Thursday night, April 27 is a night to remember! All PK-5th grade students were involved in a concert called Project Green Earth. Mike Nobel, singer/songwriter from Maine was here to work with the students in presenting the concert about civic engagement and care for the Earth. Each classroom had special time to rehearse with Mike during the day and then presented their songs at night for the audience of parents, teachers and friends. Mike believes that through the "power of song", children can help change the world. Under the direction of Michelle Swanson, the wonderful musical talents of our Price Lab Elementary students were showcased. From the opening song "Color Me Green" by the PK/K students to the closing song "One by One" the audience was captivated. Highlights included Riley Gardner's impression of Elvis and the 4th grade girls as back up singers, first grader Isaac Lynch on the guitar and the world debut of "Heartland of America" sung by Delaney Horan and the 3rd, 4th and 5th graders. By the end of the concert the whole audience was helping with the song "Stand Up." Unit II students served ecological desserts and set up a recycling center for the trash. Their ecology art work was on display to demonstrate all they have learned throughout this project. An additional part of Project Green Earth is planting a rain garden on the playground. The concert and rain garden were made possible by grants from the R.J. McElroy Foundation and the Community Foundation written by Lynne Ensworth, Denise Tallakson, Nicole Geopfert and Mary Stichter."
