Music is powerful. Music brings people together. And especially now, during remote learning, music is bringing a sense of community to the Kinard Middle School choir even though they are physically apart. Thanks to some technical wizardry, choir teacher Scott Wheeler has been able to take student's recordings of themselves and combine them into beautiful recordings that will be shared with the community. "It's meant to put a smile on the faces of those who may not be able to see kids or hear them sing live," he said. Produced in partnership with a CSU journalism class, watch how this choir is sharing their voices with the world. #PSDtogether
