Students compete annually for a seat in the orchestra, performing professional repertoire in at least four concerts throughout the school year. The HYSO’s first concert of the year is coming up on Sunday, November 10, at 3:00 pm in Hochstein Performance Hall. The program includes Felix Mendelssohn’s tempestuous Hebrides Overture (“Fingal’s Cave”), the zestful symphonic work Open the Door by Vermont contemporary composer Gwyneth Walker, Camille Saint-Saëns’ evocative Danse Macabre, and Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky’s dramatic Romeo and Juliet Overture Fantasy.
Congratulations Mathletes!

NOTES FROM THE NURSE: DECEMBER
A reminder about Pertussis (Whooping Cough): Pertussis is always present in the community and usually starts to increase about the same time as the flu. If your child develops a persistent cough that becomes worse over time, he/she should be evaluated by his/her physician so that the appropriate tests are performed and treatment is initiated.
Students suspected of having Pertussis should not attend school until lab test results come back negative, or for positive results, the student has completed the entire course of antibiotics and has been fever-free for at least 24 hours without the assistance of fever-reducing medication.
Pertussis most often occurs in infants and younger children who frequently acquire the disease from older siblings, adolescents, and adults who have a mild disease. While Pertussis most frequently occurs in unvaccinated or under-vaccinated children, it also occurs in school-age children and adults who have had the recommended Pertussis immunizations.
