The Top 17 schools with the most votes accumulated will each win a prize! The last two years our school took 2nd and 3rd place. We won

$250.00 of music for our classrooms each year.

How it works? Contest Rules Each person voting can vote one time for each picture on the website, per day. So you can go back each day and vote again. You can also post a link on facebook about this contest and get your friends to vote as well. Put on your Facebook pages and send it out to your friends. Let’s work to-gether to take 1st place this year. We have five photos posted already.

What can I do now? Start submitting photos to the Heid Music web page (http://www.heidmusic.com/big10music/). Take pictures of your child and friends practicing their instruments or singing. Be creative! Be serious! Be funny! Let others know what the Woodland music program means to you and your child. Photos can be submitted starting TODAY. The contest runs through the month. You can submit multiple photos. To make it easier for

Woodland voters to identify pictures, please try to use a Wood-land caption under the picture or the Woodland logo in a lower corner of the picture. More news to follow in the next week or two. Start taking those photos!!! Together, we can win this!!!!!

We hope to see you at our Spring Concert so you can hear some of the piec-

es we purchased with the $250.00 prize last year. Put April 11, 2017 on your calendars.

Check out the crazy photo submitted last year. It even ended

up on a billboard sign along the road in Fond Du Lac.

Here is another way to help out our music program at Woodland.

Heid Music will match individuals’ donations of $5.00 or more with Heid Music in-store credit to support their preferred school district mu-sic program. School districts will then receive the cash donations PLUS up to $500.00 per district of in-store credit to use toward products and services.

In short, if you spend money at Heid music during the month of March, they will donate that amount to our district music program. It’s easy. If you need supplies, now is the time to take care of that while helping the music program too!
