In celebration of this year's district wide music theme of Mozart and Friends, Music for Youth is sponsoring a poster contest in January! Could be a fun activity for the break! Submissions are due in the Music for Youth box in the music room on January 18th. There will be two $25 winners per school (one K-2 and one 3-5) announced on Mozart's Birthday, January 27th. All students need is one sheet of paper no larger than 12 X 18 inches and some thinking about Mozart and his music.
