The New Tribute WTC Exhibit Is Greeted With Enthusiasm!


Mrs. Burns (l), Mr. Breinberg, and Mrs. Johnson (r) at the opening of the new exhibit in TRIBUTE WTC, the World Trade Center Museum in Manhattan.



Last night's opening reception at The Tribute WTC museum was a tremendously powerful experience for all who attended. We were extremely gratified to hear today from one of the museum's curators, Meriam Lobel, who said that she has already begun receiving glowing responses about the new exhibit, one which prominently features video excerpts and written quotes from PS22's September 11th film from 2002. Thanks to Meri, Caroline, Lee, and everyone at the museum for everything, including the pics you see above and below. Most importantly, we thank them for taking this project, one in which we had so much of ourselves emotionally invested, completely seriously. We are overwhelmed by the museum presenting us the huge honor of having it exhibited for 100's of thousands to see. We are humbled and awed. So make sure to read the previous post for more information about the museum, it's location, and PS22's contribution to this remarkable exhibit.

Mr B,
I think you are wonderful.
I am a huge Tori fan, but even if I wasn't...experiencing you and your beautiful children just brings tears to my eyes.
I just love that Dragon moment with Tori....made me cry as well, noticed its been viewed something like 27,902 times! I think I was the 902 times!
I want to thank you for all that you do for those children, and how lucky we would be if every school had a music teacher like you.

Bless you sir.

Thank you so much, S! I'm glad you dig the chorus! They're just incredible kids! And I thank you for your praises to me personally. But this year more than ever, i have to thank THEM for what they did for ME! I mean -- singing for and with Tori! Man, I never would have dared to dream it could happen and that it would be such a moment. And the video where they're singing Dragon is over 82,000 hits as of now!! Unbelievable! Thanks for being one of them and for your awesome comment!
