The options to play a musical instrument in the band and the orchestra in the coming year were presented to the 4th Grade students at Adamsville Primary School on Thursday, January 30.
The music teachers and directors from the Hillside Intermediate School were on hand to discuss what instruments Adamsville students can play once they enter the school in September.
The Band Teacher and Director, Patricia Kearns, and the Orchestra Teachers and Directors, Tom Lewis and Carrie Jendza, played the vicarious instruments and discussed each one during their session for the Adamsville students to consider what they will want to play if they choose to participate next school year.
Fliers on the opportunities were given to the students to bring home to their parents and guardians. The Hillside teachers also reported that they can participate in the choral program at Hillside under Director Tony Sgro if they wish.
“We were here to explain what they can participate in if they want to play an instrument when they come to Hillside,” Ms. Kearns said.

Students and staff were all for one at the Hillside Intermediate School on Wednesday, January 15.
Hillside participated in the January “One and All” lesson during extended homeroom on the morning of January 15.
The lesson focused on the significance of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and his tireless efforts to stand against hate, prejudice, and racism.
Hillside staff said “We believe that our students share more in common than not, and that they learn best in environments that foster respect and celebrate diversity.”
As part of the lesson, students engaged in the “Hands of Hope” activity, which encouraged them to reflect on ways we can work together to foster empathy, kindness, and a stronger sense of community.
The goal of this activity was to provide students with the opportunity to express how they can do their part to contribute in making our community and the world a better place.
By sharing their thoughts through creative expression, they were able to actively engage in the message of unity and understanding that Dr. King championed.

The voyage of the Mayflower was launched from the Hillside Intermediate School.
Rebecca Czekaj recently guided her 6th grade Science students at Hillside through a fun STEM challenge: The Mini Mayflower.
Students were given one sheet of foil, one straw, scissors, one sheet of paper, tape and glue (by request) and were challenged to build a boat that would hold the most pilgrims (pennies).
The students tested their designs in a tub of water. The winning boat was able to hold 150 pennies plus a few nickels and a few marbles!
Great work, Ms. Czekaj!
