Greetings from the land of forests and lakes! So our song will naturally be about the importance of tree planting. We heard two days ago that our Schoolovision song will be practised by all the schools in the city of Joensuu during the spring. That song and many others will be performed in our traditional choir concert on the 4th of June 2010, to invite summer in. Last year there were almost 10 000 kids singing. Cool!
