Pelham students Light it Up Blue
A Pelham Middle School student has written a song to raise awareness for autism. It was commissioned by the organization Autism Speaks, which is one of the leaders of Autism Awareness Day on Saturday.
Owen Saunders, a sixth-grader, composed the music and melody for “Light it Up Blue” in November. His mother, who works in the music business, wrote the lyrics. At the beginning of this year, Saunders, his brother, Wyatt, and a bunch of other Pelham students recorded tune. Watch a video here. (Look for the “Introduction Video” heading in the lower right of the page.) That’s Pelham’s Harriet Palmer, in seventh grade, singing the opening lines.
A full account of the story will appear in tomorrow’s Journal News. Meantime, set your DVRs for about 8:40 a.m., when the kids will appear on WPIX to perform their song.
