Throughout the month of March, Hillside Grade School celebrated Music in Our Schools Month. This special month highlights the significance of music education in shaping young minds and raises awareness about the need for continued support for arts programs in schools. By celebrating this month, we acknowledge the power of music to inspire, educate and unite communities, and advocate for its place in every child's education.
HGS students contributed to two musical bulletin boards. Students shared their answers to a wide array of prompts that allowed them to reflect on the impact music makes on their lives including: “What do you love about music?” Why do you love your instrument?” and “Why is music important to you?” Additionally, throughout the month, student musicians in band, orchestra and chorus treated the entire Hillside Grade School community to musical performances as students arrived to start their days. Student musicians performed solo and ensemble selections that demonstrated their talent and dedication to their musicianship and their instruments. Ms. Malaszczyk, Ms. Oberstein and Ms. Sanft are so proud of their talented and hardworking Husky musicians!
