Grades 4/5 Winter Concert!
Attention 4th and 5th Grade Families! Please see the message below, along with the attachment at the bottom of the update, for an invitation to the 4th/5th grade Winter Concert on January 14. This is for any parent/guardian of a 4th/5th grade student currently participating in Strings, Band, Chorus, and/or Rolling Tones. We hope to see you there!
Dear 4th & 5th Grade Families:
Our 4th & 5th grade students have been working hard this year in Violin, Viola,
Cello, Band, Chorus, and the Rolling Tones - and we can’t wait to share what
we’ve been working on!
We will have a daytime concert to celebrate the achievements and efforts of our students.
Our concert will be TUESDAY, JANUARY 14 2020 @ 10 a.m. in the Hansen
Elementary cafeteria. The concert should last about 40 minutes. Please join us!
In order to present a uniform appearance and enable students to apply their
knowledge of performance etiquette, students in chorus and band are requested
to wear plain white/light colored shirts, black/dark colored pants or black/dark
colored long skirts, and flat, sturdy shoes to school on concert day. Rolling
Tones should wear black/dark on the bottom, Rolling Tones shirt on top!
We hope to see you at our concert! Please let me know if you have any
questions or concerns!
Thank you,
Daniel Hulsman
Music Teacher, Hansen Elementary
Hansen Community Forums are Back!
Last Spring, we held two initial 'community forums', inviting any adult member of the Hansen community to participate. We are excited to once again offer these opportunities to connect with each other, and our first forum is scheduled for January 30, 2020 at 3:00. Please see the note below for more information and an invitation to come and connect and have open dialogue with each other!
The Canton Public Schools believes in a set of core values that include Academic Excellence and Rigor, Inclusive and Engaged Community, Respectful and Responsible Relationships, and Continuous Reflection and Improvement. With these values in mind, the Hansen School is proud to begin to offer ongoing opportunities for the adult members of our school community (parents/guardians and staff) to come together in a comfortable and relaxed forum to connect with each other and discuss important topics related to equity, culture, and bias.
We have a wonderfully diverse student population at our school, and strive to maintain open communication with our community members so that we are able to grow our understanding and ability to meet the needs of students while promoting an equitable experience for all that walk through our doors each day.
These forums are not designed to be formal trainings, and there will be no ‘experts’ in the room. Rather, we hope to provide a comfortable way for each of us to have conversations with each other around topics that are often not discussed openly in this way. Any adult member of the Hansen community is welcome to join us, and we plan to meet approximately one time per month. Our first meeting for this school year is scheduled for Thursday, January 30, at 3:00 p.m. in the Hansen School Library. We very much hope to see you there, and look forward to engaging with you further around these important topics as we all work together to support all students at the Hansen School!
Should you have any thoughts or questions, please do not hesitate to reach out to Hansen staff members, David Brauninger at brauningerd@cantonma.org and/or Naomi Adagboyi at adagboyin@cantonma.org.
