Important Notice From our Music Teacher, Mrs. Hill, to 2nd Grade Students & Their Parents!
As you may have heard from your students, 2nd grade is preparing for their musical performance of the year! The entire 2nd grade will be involved in this production, and we have been working on the music during our music class time. Our program, which is entitled “Hats!” is all about different hats, what they mean, and who wears them! All of the hats on stage will help a friend who doesn’t have one, and along the way they’ll find that the most important thing is not about the hat you wear, but the person who is wearing it. I'm very excited, as I'm sure your students are, to present this fun musical to you!
Every student will be a part of the chorus of characters, where we will all be singing various songs that introduce the story of our hat-wearing friends. In addition to that, some students will be selected to have speaking parts as hat-wearers! These students will be selected based upon their participation in class.
Our performance is on Thursday, February 7 at 9:00AM in the Tiger’s Den at WCHE. Family and friends of student performers are welcome to come and enjoy the show! PLEASE make sure your child will be at school on this day, wearing his/her favorite hat, so we can have the best performance possible! And, please RSVP to avoid the long security check-in lines.
If you have any questions about the program, please contact me. I will be happy to answer any questions or concerns! There will also be music online on my Schoology page for your students to practice at home!
Thank you so much for your participation, I cannot wait to see our finished production!

This is a great way to teach our 5th Graders to give back to their school community by working together to raise funds for their legacy gift. After the fundraiser, Mr. Wolff will meet with the 5th Graders so that they can work together to determine what this year’s gift to the school will be.
Thank you!

The Wall of Fame for Shoe Tying for Kindergarten, 1st, and 2nd Graders
Once notified of the student's successful shoe-tying accomplishment, we will provide your student with a paper shoe to color, take the student's photo, and then post the photo and customized paper shoe on our WALL OF FAME FOR SHOE TYING!
It's going to be really exciting to see our young Tigers on the WALL OF FAME!
Our clinic needs new or gently used leggings, shorts, and pants
