It was a busy week in Tiger Town with grade 6 parent/teacher conferences, JV and Varsity Winter sports getting underway and a Thanksgiving food drive that has taken place throughout the district with students and staff coming together. Stay tuned for more information on the annual Thanksgiving food drive and as a reminder, next week there will be no classes Wednesday through Friday for Thanksgiving recess.
Peter and the Wolf
The Glens Falls Symphony Orchestra performed for our Intermediate School students at a special assembly performance on Tuesday morning at our high school auditorium. The Orchestra performed Peter and the Wolf with narration by local news personality Mark Mulholland. In addition to our Hudson Falls students, the performance was also attended by members of Glens Falls elementary schools and by The King School (Luzerne). Beyond a wonderful performance, the symphony’s mission is to provide educational outreach. We thank the Glens Falls Symphony Orchestra for providing this opportunity and encouraging kids to explore performance art opportunities that exist here at HFCSD.
Winter Concerts
Our very own music department will begin the Winter concert season on Wednesday, December 4, with the Middle School Band, High School Orchestra and The Chamber Orchestra. Wednesday, December 11 will feature holiday sounds starring the High School Choir, Choraliers and High School Band. The final concert prior to holiday recess will showcase the Middle School with the 6 Orchestra, 7/8 Orchestra and 7/8 Choir. All concerts will take place at the High School auditorium starting at 7:30 p.m.
After holiday break on Thursday, January 16, our elementary students will take the stage with performances from the 4/5 Orchestra, 5 Band and the 3/4/5 Choral Club. This concert will begin at 7:00 p.m. in the High School auditorium and will wrap up the Winter concert series.

Quick Survey
We need a moment of your time. The New York State Education Department is asking parents or guardians to complete a Digital Equity Survey for each K-12 student in your family. This survey will provide information on student access to devices and internet access in their places of residence. These questions are designed to help our district make decisions about how we deploy technology resources. Please fill out one survey for each student you have in the district.
