Beginning Band at the end of
5th Grade

Attention Parents of 3^rd and 4^th Graders

The Hudson instrumental music department requires two years of piano lessons prior to testing for percussion in the beginning band. Although a student has attained the required years of piano lessons, this does NOT guarantee their placement as a percussionist. Each year 10 students will be selected from those who were tested. The test is based on individual written examples and rhythmic coordination.

Students who are not selected to be a percussionist are eligible and highly encouraged to play one of many other wind instruments that are offered. A list of area piano teachers can be provided to you by one of the Hudson Band directors by emailing:meinckcr@hudson.k12.wi.us or rootca@hudson.k12.wi.us.

Ponderings from the Principal

Dear Houlton Families,

If you know of families with a soon-to-be Kindergartner anticipating school in the fall, please share with them our district Kindergarten registration scheduled for Tuesday, February 7 at Hudson Prairie Elementary School from 4 - 6 PM.

Our Houlton Kindergarten anticipated list looks healthy!!

Speaking of health, did you see this is National Family Fitness & Health month? We're right on track here at Houlton with our Family Fun & Fitness program. And now we have SNOW! Hope you can enjoy a little snow-shoeing, skiing, sledding or snow-man building yet this month.

We moved my daughter back to college Saturday. After practicing that routine with five children, I still tear up a little each time we drive away. Life just seems to pass by so quickly. Enjoy each moment you have with your child!

~Mrs. Ann Mitchell
