A Canadian-famous musical guest recently brought her bilingual beats and powerful message to packed auditoriums of energized students at Grey Highlands Secondary and East Ridge Community schools.
Through the support of Canadian Parents for French Ontario and ImmersART, a grant connecting French Immersion schools with arts and culture non-profit organizations, bilingual hip hop/rap/soul artist Missy D offered a string of performances on October 16 and 17.
Nearly 2,000 Grades 4 to 12 students spanning 12 Bluewater District School Board (BWDSB) schools sang along enthusiastically as Missy D’s deep and soulful voice resonated throughout the concert space with DJ Slippee providing a perfect backdrop of tantalizing beats.
