Dear Parents,
This year we are lucky enough to have been asked to participate in a program called Orchestrating Kids Through Classics. Its purpose is to help make classical music more accessible for students as well as to help children learn about the instruments of the orchestra. This is done to help the students, so when they reach fourth grade they can make an informed decision if they want to play an instrument and what instrument they want to play.
This program includes four professional musicians coming to Francis Wyman on January 10th to talk with our students and demonstrate the different instruments. On Thursday January 19th, the entire third grade will take a field trip to see the Lexington Symphony Orchestra in a one hour concert created especially for children.
We were lucky enough to receive a grant to cover the cost of the musicians, the tickets to see the concert as well as transportation to the venue. Therefore, the field trip will cost nothing for the students. Please return this permission slip by Thursday December 22nd.
Thank you,
Ms. Potts Mrs. Peabody
