Terry A La Berry sings with Rosey Dzierga's kindergarten and first-grade after-school class.
NORTH ADAMS, Mass. — Rosey Dzierga's kindergarten and first-grade after-school pupils shared their anti-bullying message through song with Lenox musician Terry "A La Berry" Hall to community members and families on Monday afternoon at Brayton Elementary School.
"They worked really hard... I think they deserve this recognition," Dzierga said.
That experience went so well that Hall decided to call up Dzierga when his next project, a music video for his song, "Brave to be Kind," came to fruitation. Hall worked with the children to create a video, with them assisting in the chorus.
"These kids are so motivated, it's so much fun," Hall said.
The children walked down the red carpet into the school library. They then sang the two songs and presented the video to the crowd, which featured Mayor Richard Alcombright and Superintendent James Montepare.
Hall's latest album "Bad Kitty," which includes last summer's pupils singing "One People," was on sale.

SteepleCats Fall to Upper Valley Nighthawks
By Ben McDonoughFor iBerkshires.com
NORTH ADAMS, Mass. — The North Adams SteepleCats were unable to overcome a pair of multi-run innings Friday night at Joe Wolfe Field, falling 5-1 to the Upper Valley Nighthawks.
North Adams pitcher Jakob Foster was making his first start after throwing only two innings earlier in the season and looked sharp early. The right-hander struck out two in a scoreless first inning before punching out three more hitters in the second, allowing just a hit batter to reach base.
Upper Valley broke through in the third. Alejandro Puig opened the inning with a single before James Love doubled with two outs. A two-run double by Magoulik gave the Nighthawks a 2-0 lead before Foster escaped the frame.
The SteepleCats struggled to generate offense against Upper Valley starter Trey Sejnoha, who retired the first nine North Adams hitters in order. Nick Lamelo finally reached in the third, hustling into second on a ball misplayed in right field.
North Adams put together its best threat of the game in the fourth. Bobby Stang reached on an error and Nelphie Lopez worked a walk to put two runners aboard. Chris Diaz moved both runners into scoring position with a groundout, but Sejnoha induced a foul fly ball to end the inning and strand both runners.
The Nighthawks added to their lead in the fifth. After an error extended the inning, Upper Valley loaded the bases before a hit batter forced home a run. Jake Bell followed with a two-run double, pushing the Nighthawks’ advantage to 5-0.
The SteepleCats answered with another opportunity in the bottom half of the inning. Shawn Stephenson and Owen Arias recorded back-to-back infield singles, and a walk to Evan Meier loaded the bases with two outs. Reliever Nick Tamburro entered and escaped the jam with a strikeout, preserving the shutout.
