A second group of children from Newtown, Conn., will be included in this weekend's "Grammy Awards" pre-show, reports eonline.com.

During last Sunday's Super Bowl pre-game show on CBS, actress-singer Jennifer Hudson and kids from the Sandy Hook Elementary School children's chorus sang "America the Beautiful." The school was the site of a horrific massacre of 26 children and adults in December.

Sabrina Post, director of the group, told the website the children "wanted to do something to honor those who were slain."

The 21 children, some of whom attend the Sandy Hook Elementary School, will be singing Carly Rae Jepsen's hit "Call Me Maybe" during E!'s "Live From the Red Carpet' pre-show airing 5-7 p.m. Sunday on cable 60. The children will also be interviewed by show host Ryan Seacrest via satellite.

The group also recently recorded a rendition of "Over the Rainbow" which is available on Amazon and iTunes, with proceeds from sales to benefit the United Way of Western Connecticut and the Newtown Youth Academy.

The chorus has no plans to records any more songs or make more public appearances, reports the website.

The "55th Annual Grammy Awards" show will air live at 7 p.m. Sunday on CBS, channel 6.

Here is the children's chorus singing with Jennifer Hudson during last Sunday's Super Bowl pre-game show.

Rita Sherrow grew up with TV. Yes, it was the ever-present “sister” from another techno mother. At first look, it was instant "Like." From then on, the TV had to be on in every room while she studied, elementary school through college. An Air Force brat, she attended school in three states (Oklahoma, Montana and Georgia) and two foreign countries (Germany and Bermuda) and graduated from Broken Arrow High School and the University of Tulsa with a degree in journalism/advertising. She first interned in the advertising world but, when a J-School professor (who also covered politics for the Tulsa World) offered her an internship at the newspaper, she took him up on it. The rest is history. She has served as bridal editor, senior features writer for the women’s section, food editor and is television editor of the Tulsa World. In addition to writing about TV shows and interviewing the stars for “Scene” stories, she also writes a TV column for Weekend and produces the Sunday TV World listings magazine.
