On Veterans Day, Mrs. Beine’s music students at Lincoln and Schurz were able to zoom with a United States Veteran to share their thanks for his service. Gunnery Sergeant Lawrence Hollister is a retired Marine Veteran who served for 20 years. Part of his time with the Marines was spent serving in the Marine Band.
In addition to sharing their thanks, students were also able to ask Gunnery Sergeant Hollister what it is like to be a musician in the Marine Band. Gunnery Sergeant Hollister encouraged our young musicians to work hard and persevere through the challenges of learning to play an instrument. #WatertownWay

We have the cutest #WatertownWay pumpkins in the patch! 😍
Mrs. Rousseau's 4K class had a lot of fun picking pumpkins at the Schurz Pumpkin Patch.
Last Thursday, one of the 3rd grade music classes at Schurz Elementary School was fortunate to have a virtual Q&A time with Staff Sergeant William Samson! Tuba player Staff Sergeant Samson is a member of "The President's Own" United States Marine Band.
Prior to the meeting, students learned about “The President’s Own” and watched various concert excerpts. The students were then able to ask Staff Sergeant Samson questions about what it is like to be a musician whose job is to play for White House events.
Staff Sergeant Samson even made a deal with the students. If they send him a recording of “Hot Cross Buns” once they learn to play it on their recorders, he will send a recording of him playing “Hot Cross Buns” on his tuba in return.
Staff Sergeant Samson encouraged our young musicians to work hard and persevere through the challenges of learning to play an instrument.
A special "Thank You!" to Staff Sergeant Samson for providing our students this amazing experience! 💙💛

Schurz staff had fun on Wednesday by surprising students as they wore their favorite costumes at school!
Mrs. Bethke and Mrs. Ebert's kindergartners had a beautiful day for their Alphabet parade Wednesday afternoon!
Mrs. Wolf's class celebrated "White Cane Day.” Students in her class listened to the book called “White Cane Day" and had a lively conversation about the achievements of people who are blind and/or visually impaired.
Students enjoyed making white cane day pencils and a chocolate covered pretzel that looked like a white cane. The highlight was wearing low vision simulators when doing the activities and looking at braille books. Each student received their name in Braille, too!
