Thank you to our community's superheroes!

There are many ways to save the day! Frontline health care workers, teachers, firefighters and more - our video couldn’t capture all the superheroes in our community but this song is for every one of you. 

Special thanks to the team of heroes at Molly Brant Elementary for joining in our fun, and to the Laurie Berkner Band for permission to use their recording.
