Introduction

Hello! My name is Laura Crouthamel, and I am the instrumental strings teacher at Ironton, Kernsville, Kratzer, and Schnecksville Elementary Schools.

The 2010-2011 School Year is a year of change, and for those in 5th grade, the schedule will be slightly different than last year. Students will have a 45-minute lesson one cycle, then the following cycle they will have a 45-minute ensemble rehearsal. The rehearsal will always be at the end of the day from 2:30-3:15. The lessons rotate throughout the day so that the students are not missing the same subject every week. The schedule will be sent to classroom teachers to post in their rooms, and it will always be posted outside the instrumental room as well.

Here are the cycle days that I am at each building so you can help your child remember their instrument on the right day.

Day 1- Ironton Day 2- Kratzer Day 3- Kernsville Day 4- Schnecksville.

Please feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns at any time!
