Hazelwood Middle School Orchestra

Well the year is over and I could not be more grateful for the amazing music these incredible students have made! It would not be possible without the support of all of their parents and the amazong faculty and staff at Hazelwood Middle School I would be remiss to not thank the New Albany-Floyd County Education Foundation for helping provide our students with new shoulder rests this year! These helped maintain the beautiful posture they worked so hard to develop.

Here’s to a fantastic year and a great summer!

What a year it has been! I wanted to take an opportunity today to thank one very special support group who helped us achieve so much this year.

As many of you may or may not be aware, equipment for orchestra is expensive and very often in need of repair due to its immense amount of use throughout the year. This year the New Albany-Floyd County Education Foundation was able to provide us with funding to purchase a dozen new violin bows to support our program! Without their generous donation, we would not have been able to make it as far as we had including receiving our gold rating at ISSMA!

Without their partnership with our district, so many teachers would be made to go without funding for projects that enrich our students education. Thank you to the New Albany-Floyd County Education Foundationducation Foundation for their incredible support!

In addition to thank our Education Foundation, I would like to thank our incredible colleagues in our Band, Mrs. Katie Russell, and Choir, Mr. Aaron Brooks, for their support as well as the support of our incredible administration! Thank you for all you do to support us!
