From Mr. Reilley,

What I've learned so far... I have more time to "go after" things I've wanted to do well. If you sing or play instruments etc... take this time to go after your dreams of becomming great! Practice, practice, practice!! You now have the opportunity to focus your attention on what makes you happy. Playing and performing my music brings me great joy, satisfaction and peace. Seize the Day!

Flipgrid is still a great place to share your greatest performances! You also get to see other Groveland kids at their best!! Follow the directions/link and get yourself onto the Groveland "virtual" Stage!! Also, see lyrics and song sheets (scroll way below) for you to perform with. Might be something there to upload to flipgrid!
