Beginning Band at the end of 
                                  5th Grade         

Attention  Parents of  3rd and 4th 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
