Rochester Hills Students Perform Holiday Concert To Feed Kids

ROCHESTER HILLS, MI — Children at The Montessori School Rochester will be performing to help other children who often go to bed hungry and without food.

Thevmulticultural holiday concert called, “Nations in Rhythm” will be performed on by students, ages 2 to 12, at 10:30 a.m. Dec. 18. It will take place on their campus located at 3976 S. Livernois Road in Rochester Hills.

Organizers say the multicultural event will be celebrating cultures around the world during the holidays with the message that all cultures are integrated and overlap.

“Our students are inspired to perform and to help hungry children in our community and we’re asking that any food donations be brought to their multicultural holiday concert, or be dropped off at the school” said Joanne Shango, Head of School, at The Montessori School Rochester. “It’s an opportunity for everyone to come together, help feed families and celebrate the season.”

Shango was the multicultural event coordinator that created an international performance at The Detroit Opera House for Detroit’s Super Bowl XL held back in 2006, and she is spearheading the student performances in her school’s multicultural concert which makes up an international student body of various ethnicities from throughout Oakland, Macomb and Wayne County.

The public is invited to the multicultural holiday concert and everyone is asked to bring a food donation that will go to the Gleaners Food Bank.
