DAMASCUS, PA — The Damascus Citizens for Sustainability’s storefront at 25 Main Street in charming Narrowsburg, New York continues its outreach to children with SONGS TO CELEBRATE THE EARTH, a sing-along led by guitarist, songwriter, and educator Lucas Maehara Rotman on Saturday morning April 27 from 10:30 to 11:30. 

Participation is free, but contributions are welcome.  Please register to attend by contacting jane.skates@ yahoo.com.

Children of all ages and their parents of all ages, including grandparents, are welcome to join their voices in such familiar songs as “Peace Like a River”, “This Pretty Planet”, “Three Little Birds” and “The Garden Song”.

Lucas has had a home in the Upper Delaware River Valley for over 15 years and is familiar to anyone who attends music events in the area.

As an educator in New York City public elementary schools he has always made music an important presence in the classrooms.

He says, “Children have an innate sense of curiosity, empathy and connection to the world around them.  It is no wonder that many of our fiercest earth/climate activists are young people who are passionately leading the way towards a more just and sustainable future. Songs and music that inspire a love and respect for the natural world resonate deeply with children (and audiences of all ages) by empowering us all to become more connected and rooted in the natural world and hopefully, more passionate stewards and earth warriors as well.”

For those who cannot attend, always remember that the storefront always welcomes children and their families to participate in sustainable crafts and other projects dedicated to preserving an awareness of protecting planet Earth.
