On Friday, the PS22 Chorus of 2012 gave its final performance of our 2011 Winter Concert to the second grade classes and some of the big-wigs from the NYC Dept. of Education. In the audience was Divina's Mini-me, Emma, so we called her up to join her sister on "I Love Rock 'N' Roll" by Arrows (covered famously by Joan Jett and the Blackhearts.) It was an adorable moment that we felt compelled to film and post.... Afterwards at rehearsal, we had the sad task of bidding Divina farewell and good luck as Friday marked her final day at PS22. It was an emotional goodbye, but hopefully one that will serve as a reminder to this incredible young lady of the unforgettable impact she has had on ALL of us.

What I really love is Divina's look when you ask what she'll do if there is no easy way for her to make music. She looks like she wants to say "it's absolutely impossible to imagine me giving up".
Oh, and seeing as Divina cannot appear in the next PS22 videos, I really want her to be on TV as a senior told her.
I love rock n roll says forbidden until Divina comes to see us. We'll all miss you D!!!

Divina you are an amazingly beautiful young lady-- keep singing and finding a way to share your smile and talent with those around you. There are big things in your future.

Years from now this young lady is going to look at this video and realize how much she is loved and valued. That is why what you are doing with this choir is so huge! I loved the part when you thanked the kids for being good friends, and reminded them that being a good friend is more important than being good singers. Please don't ever stop!
