The Elgin Symphony

On April 18, the 4th graders at Hoover went to see the Elgin Symphony Orchestra at Hemmens theater. Their theme was “The Colors of Music”. They listened to 9 different pieces, including “The Twittering Machine” and America’s official march, “Stars and Stripes Forever”. The conductor talked a lot about the different instruments. A favorite instrument was the oboe. The Elgin Symphony Orchestra put on a great performance for the 4th graders of Hoover school!

Let us Entertain You-Collecting for Soldiers

The soldiers work hard to protect us, so what can we do to help them?  We can send them entertaining items and comfort items because they get really bored during their down time.  Think about what you do when your are bored:  Whatch movies, play games, read, or snack. It doesn’t matter to them as long as they have somthing to do. They our tired of hot wheather and boredom so they need comforts from home.

Please help our soldiers out by sending in the following items, preferably in travel sizes:

1. bug spray
2. sunscreen
3. toiletries
4. wipes
5. drink packets
6. candy (no chocolate-except m & ms)
7. games
8. magazines
9. small battery opperated fans with batteries
10. neckbands to absorb water
11. men’s flip flops
12. beef jerky

and lots of letters .

Please send all items to school to be put in the boxes outside of Mrs. Hellesen’s classroom.
