On February 5, 165 ukulele students from Doane Uschool and Jann Arden recorded the song Try a Little Kindness at the renowned Revolution Recording studio in Toronto. The song was originally intended to raise money for Doane Uschool, and to showcase its talented students, but the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic changed that plan.

When Covid-19 hit, Jann Arden, Uschool Founder Melanie Doane,and the group of students involved felt the need to share their song to raise money for other kids and families and to inspire everyone to share kindness in their own ways. 

I thought you might like to hear this uplifting song. We all need a little kindness.

And hey, if you can support this charitable school…all the better!

Peace, friends.
