The instruments will come in handy as you and your family celebrate the New Year with your own music!  

 

A list of materials you might want to have available are: 

Any clean recyclable items paper towel tubes, cereal boxes, cardboard boxes, paper lunch bags, old metal spoons, paper or plastic plates or cups, plastic water bottles, clean food containers, jars with lids. 

 

Dry rice, beans, small stones, anything that makes a sound when put in a container.  

 

School Supplies Needed are: rubber bands, staples, tape, glue and safe scissors. 

As Greg says, if you drop it and hear a ring bring it with you and some string. 

Don't forget you can decorate your item if you have decorative paper or stickers! 

Basically look around your house for anything that combined with another object will make noise! Greg will be live on zoom and can see what you have in front of you and make suggestions for what you can do with the stuff you have already.  

 

Suitable for all ages even if you have two paper plates and a box of Cheerio's from preschoolers to adults! Program is also good for adults. Ms. Chris will also be participating with an assortment of items. Let's make music together to bring in a happy New Year.

The National Weather Service says the strong cold front will create favorable conditions for lake effect snow downwind of the Great Lakes today. Up to six inches of snow and winds gusting up to 40 miles per hour are predicted from Minnesota to Maryland, and as far south as Tennessee.        Wall Street is closing with stocks higher. It comes as bank stocks are seeing a boost following the release of quarterly earnings. At the closing bell, the Dow Jones Industrial Average soared 292 points to 49-442. The S&P 500 rose 17 points to 69-44. The Nasdaq gained 58 points to 23-530.        The Department of Justice says it has busted-up an NCAA Basketball gambling conspiracy. The DOJ is calling it a transnational criminal conspiracy that began in China with former college and Chicago Bulls player Antonio Blakeney. The indictment alleges Blakeney was having so much success fixing games in China as a player, he moved the operation stateside with a number of co-conspirators.        The Bernalillo [[ ber-nuh-LEE-yo ]] County District Attorney's office says it is asking for Timothy Busfield to be detained prior to trial. The actor is being held on two counts of felony criminal sexual contact and one count of felony child abuse.
