We're Philly Proud of a local biology professor-turned-musician who called on his school community to create an album of educational songs.

"I've always been really passionate and interested in music," said Dr. Matthew Bonnan. "But by the time high school was over... I decided that maybe it wasn't for me to make."

But what started as an unearthed hidden talent developed into something much greater. He was inspired by the isolation of the following year's pandemic to create songs that brought people together. "I could take what I know, which is science, which is paleontology, and try to turn it into something that is hopefully entertaining," he said. "Or maybe get people to view things in the world around them and each other, just a little bit different."

Art students created illustrations and animations to compliment the science-heavy lyrics contained within certain tracks. And students from Stockton's a capella organizations joined forces to accompany Bonnan's once-lonely voice."I think I'll remember things like this, being part of interesting projects and working really hard with my friends," she said. "I think we all really like the song and it shows that we're all connected," she said.

Philly parents are increasingly coming to school to settle student fights, threaten teachersIt's “happening on a regular basis, and we’re worried,' said Kevin Bethel, the district's school safety chief. The parents are former ‘students’ that the PSD failed to educate. Haha “I know you’re illiterate, but here’s your diploma.” Stop asking for resources. SDP doesn't have money for ink cartridges, let alone counselors. Microsoft, Apple, Facebook, etc. are firing people and they aren't in debt like SDP. Because people are struggling to get by and are doing everything they can to survive, even if it means 'getting dirty'. Welcome to late stage capitalism
