St. Joseph Christian School releases music video honor America’s upcoming anniversary

ST. JOSEPH, Mo. (News-Press NOW) -- Elementary students at St. Joseph Christian School tapped into their musical talents to honor the nation's upcoming semi-quincentennial anniversary.

Students in first through sixth grades released a two-and-a-half-minute music video called "This Land is Your Land" at a recent Faith Promise event. The video also coincides with SJCS's annual theme of "Let Freedom Ring."

The video was a collaboration with the Development Office and the elementary music department, led by Sharon Waters. It was produced by longtime SJCS parent and former teacher, Steve Juhl.

Faith Promise events at SJCS are used to provide financial assistance for families and to meet other financial needs not covered by tuition.

The focus of current fundraising at the school is to help cover the need-based tuition assistance for over 115 qualifying families.

Additionally, SJCS is nearing completion of its over $10 million gymnasium and classroom construction, some of which is shown in the music video.

The school has reached nearly 99% of the capital campaign goal for its construction project.
