The student chorus from PS22 on Staten Island performed a moving rendition of Martina McBride’s Grammy-nominated song “I’m Gonna Love You Through It,” for teacher Adriana Lopez, who was recently diagnosed with breast cancer.

“Because we were inspired by your fighting spirit, we wanted to give something back to you,” chorus director Gregg Breinberg told Lopez in the video.

“When you feel lost and scared to death, like you can’t take one more step, just take my hand, together we can do it — I’m gonna love you through it,” sang the 5th-graders.

“I want to thank you for this special moment,” Lopez said, after shedding more than a few tears. “It’s not easy, but I will get through it because I have wonderful friends at this school.”

The PS22 Chorus has made quite the name for itself since its inception in 2000, having sung for everyone from Beyonce to President Obama to Stevie Nicks. The public school also recorded a tribute to Sandy Hook Elementary School, after 20 children and six teachers were killed in 2012.
