This Teacher is a TV movie Waiting to be Made

Who can take about 60 regular everyday kids from a community with a rather rough reputation and turn them into a world class concert choir--John Anthony can.

This teacher and choir director expects and demands excellence from your regular kid and ones you might even deem rough around the edges. How does he do it.

The choir brings tears to your eyes because they are that good. John Anthony has dedicated his heart and soul to the efforts of our Central Islip Music Program.

In a world struggling to hear some good news, spend a few moments on Youtube at JohnAnthonty37 and you will have to have a warm place in your soul.

With the snow about to start--take a moment to warm up the spirit. Somewhere I will find a way to have this man honored by just more than our local community.

His demands on the kids are ones each teacher should make. Children will rise to our expectations so let us all set the bar a little higher and even those we deem on the lowest rung should rise to the top--We just have to think creatively and out of the box.

Sing praises and be glad--I am and that is all--
