Elliott's Song News

Marion Community Schools,Sing Me A Story Foundation

Kindergartener Elliott Winegardner has spinal muscular atrophy (SMA), a genetic condition that affects motor neurons, which are nerve cells in the spinal cord that control voluntary muscle movement.

MARION — Students of all ages at Marion Community Schools are joining forces to help a special needs student’s story come to life through song.

“ to show our community that there’s people that are dealing with a lot more than what we will ever have to deal with," Marion High School Director of Bands, Joshua Huff said. “One of the things I’ve been preaching to our kids here at Marion is you’ve been given a talent, not all the time do you have to use that talent for major performance or for money. You do things sometimes to help people out.

Jonathan New, a composition major at Indiana Wesleyan University, took on the commission from Sing Me a Story and created"Elliott's Song."
