On April 20th, 2009, Glenside Elementary School received its NO PLACE FOR HATE designation from the Anti-Defamation League, and premiered the anthem
"NO TIME FOR HATE", written by Annie Lynn and Chris Arms.

The event was filmed by Local Media.

The 300 students also celebrated Earth Day, and again, premiered the song, "Listen - A Nature Song" by Annie Lynn. The enthusiastic students were lead under the superb direction of Mrs. Marni Berkowitz, whose wonderful interpretation of the music was complete with hand clapping, swaying, and even several vocal parts intertwining. The children were wonderful and energetic, and several teachers were also spotted singing along...

A good time was had by all...

This song has been endorsed by and licensed to Teachers Against Prejudice (www.teachersagainstprejudice.org) for their educational workshops and assemblies.
