FAIRFIELD—St. Thomas Aquinas Catholic School revealed its “Greatest School” video on Saturday, March 30, to hundreds of parents, faculty and supporters gathered for the school’s annual auction fundraiser at the Pequot Library. The theme of this year’s auction was the circus, based on the 2018 motion picture “The Greatest Showman” inspired by Connecticut native, P.T. Barnum and the birth of show business.
The video opens with a duet by St. Thomas eighth-graders, Catherine Bosse and Nell Kiernan, singing the first movement of movie’s Oscar-nominated power anthem “This is me”. Mr. David Harris, St. Thomas Aquinas Parish Music Director, accompanied on piano. It then features video vignettes of St. Thomas student life: classroom images, clubs & sports teams, assemblies & pep rallies, school play & talent shows; together with teachers and students from pre-kindergarten through eighth-grade lip-syncing to “The Greatest Show”. Like the song says, “This is where you wanna be.” Watch the video on here: https://youtu.be/QW4kZ9NalXo
The video was professionally produced by Reed Gidez of the Gabriele Group www.gabrielegroup.com, uncle to a number of St. Thomas current and past students. The video also featured many St. Thomas students and faculty, in particular, fifth-grade teacher, Paul Piorek, as P.T. Barnum.
