The
band Men Without Hats probably never envisioned their classic “Safety Dance” to
be used to teach important lessons during a global pandemic.
But
the teachers at Lenox Elementary School in Baldwin have proved once again that
anything is possible in 2020.
They
released a music video, but changed the iconic song’s lyrics to reflect the
importance of washing hands, social distancing and wearing a mask.
Christine
Benedetti, the school’s music teacher, was the creative force behind the catchy
COVID-19 tips.
“Don't
worry, I'm not quitting my day job,” she told News 12. “The kids though,
they're great at it and sing it all day.”
