Hewlett High School's chorus was in the holiday spirit

Singing “Deck the Halls with Boughs of Holly,” “Jungle Bells” and several Hanukkah songs, the Hewlett High School chorus brought holiday cheer to the residents of the Five Towns Premier Rehabilitation and Nursing Center in Woodmere on Dec. 20.

The student crooners performed several tunes on the third floor, and then walked through the hallways singing on each of the floors for bedridden residents.

Premier officials said that it was a moving experience for the residents and students, and many residents were brought to tears.

A family member named Annie cried when she heard her father’s favorite song, which is “Deck the Halls with Boughs of Holly.” For privacy, Annie didn’t want her last name used.

Andrew Fund, the Hewlett-Woodmere school district’s director of art music, noted that everyone involved from the high school gained an “understanding what it means to live life to its fullest and using music to spread joy,” in an email to Premier.
