Friday, 28 December 2012 00:00

Amanda Lapierre, a third-grade student at Jackson Avenue School in the Mineola School District, recently sang a song with her aunt, recording artist Dahna Bender, for the benefit of Hurricane Sandy victims. Ms. Bender, who recorded the album “Giving of the Heart” asked her niece to sing the prelude to the track “Winter Wonderland.”

“It makes me feel good to know I was actually helping others,” Amanda said of her decision to do the recording. “It makes me feel very happy.”

The song, which sells for 99 cents on iTunes, is part of an album that is less than $6 and benefits hurricane victims in the Rockaways. Amanda and Ms. Bender’s goal is to raise $1,000 for the cause.
