Jennifer Lopez Performs for Autistic Children’s Graduation

Jennifer Lopez is well-known for her diva-like demands and over-the-top lifestyle, but that’s not all there is to Jenny from the block. The singer/actress/new mom took time out of her schedule to give some autistic children in New York an amazing experience by performing at their graduation.

The kids’ teacher, Kathy Amati, and a paraprofessional showed Jennifer’s Let’s Get Loud video to the students, who loved it so much that they wanted to watch it every single day. They learned the lyrics and the dance moves, and with some coaxing from their teachers, sent a letter to Jennifer with the hopes of getting some pictures or autographs. They got a whole lot more.

Upon receiving the request, Jennifer went above and beyond anything the kids or their teachers had dreamed of — she contacted them and asked if she could to the kids’ graduation. And so, earlier this week, Jennifer not only attended the graduation — she performed Let’s Get Loud for the 10 and 11 year olds.

Big kudos to Ms. Lopez! I’m sure those kids and their families will remember her generosity for years to come, and I’d imagine she’ll feel good about it for just as long!
