Jennifer Hudson will join the chorus from Sandy Hook Elementary School to sing ''America the Beautiful'' before Sunday's Super Bowl game.

NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy said Thursday that the Grammy and Oscar-winning singer would join the Sandy Hook chorus. 

Children who survived the shooting rampage also recorded a version of ''Over the Rainbow'' to raise money for charity. Proceeds benefit the United Way of Western Connecticut and the Newtown Youth Academy.
