Kid Pan Alley writes songs with elementary students

Last week, Kid Pan Alley returned to the place where it all started 22 years ago — Rappahannock Elementary. Songwriters Paul and Cheryl Reisler completed a residency with the second and fourth grades at Rappahannock County Elementary School.

“In these difficult times, it’s even more important for children to be able to express their thoughts and values in a creative way that gets them thinking about the issues that are important to them,” Paul Reisler said.

The residency was funded by a grant from the PATH Foundation and individual Rappahannock County donors.
