Mary Rowlandson Elementary School

Earlier this year, MRE's Chorus began rehearsing "We're Not Gonna Take It" for their Winter Concert. Along the way, they hit a snag when students couldn’t agree on a section of the harmony. Determined to settle the debate, Trish O'Toole, the chorus director, took an unexpected step—reaching out directly to Dee Snider himself! To everyone’s surprise, Snider responded, kicking off an incredible exchange over the next few months. Their back-and-forth even included a special video message from Snider, sent just for the students to clear things up! Watch below to see his message and, even better, hear MRE’s chorus sing "We're Not Gonna Take It," with surprise guest performer Chris McKaughan!
