All You Need is Love
"All You Need is Love" to make a Well, Well, Well rock concert wildly successful.
Plus a little help from some friends. Talented instrumental musicians and singers from the fifth through eighth grades staged a crowd-pleasing concert--ending with a rousing, 10-song Beatles medley--on Friday, February 26 in Lamborn Hall. Students raised a total of $2,250 for Mission Emmanuel. Proceeds will help fund the shipping of donated bikes and books to Ghana.
Said WWW organizer Steve Martel, "This Well, Well, Well was perhaps my favorite because of the school-wide connection with Emmanuel's mission and his attendance at the event."
Met with cheers, Emmanuel Yeboah himself thanked the bands and fans for their support. He plans to open a free school in his native Ghana that would serve students with disabilities. Bikes will provide mobility for students and teachers.
Kyle and Brendan, two of the seniors responsible for the Mission Emmanuel project, also extended their thanks to the Well, Well Well crowd. "Their words were inspiring," said eighth grade English teacher Cathy Schorreck.
The talented eighth grade choir added vocal harmony to the favorite Beatles medley. "Having the choir with the bands was really special and gave a real sense of togetherness, particularly on 'All you Need is Love,'" added Martel.
Well, Well, Well was a group effort in other respects. Parents staged a raffle with an array of desirable items, eighth grade leaders organized and emceed the event, concert patrons donated books and bikes, and the maintenance and housekeeping departments took care of Lamborn Hall.
Mindful of another global need, a small group of students sold handmade jewelry for Haitian earthquake relief. They raised $250.
Martel and student bands staged the first Well, Well, Well concert five years ago. The first three concerts benefitted the Kenya Connect Foundation, which builds water wells for rural Kenyan schools. Last Year, WWW raised funds and awareness for the crisis in Darfur. The annual concert has since become a signature MS event.
