Best pix of the week
From the eruption of the Colima volcano in Mexico to Pamplona's running of the bulls, here are some of the most captivating images taken from around the world during the last week.
The Public School 22 choir from Staten Island, New York, gave an epic performance of Martina McBride’s “I’m Gonna Love You Through It” that tugged at the heartstrings of their teacher Adriana Lopez, who was recently diagnosed with breast cancer.
The group of fifth-graders dedicated the song to Lopez by commenting on their Facebook page that her “bravery and dedication to her students amidst a difficult fight with breast cancer has inspired us all… We love you, Mrs. Lopez!!”
The song rapidly got over one million views on YouTube.
At the end of every year the musical group always performs a special song with their director Gregg Breinberg. This year the chorus had a special surprise for Lopez, who wiped away tears throughout the performance.
Toward the end of the chorus, the kids raised up pink carnations to honor their teacher.
