We are proud to present....Crimson String Quartet May 17
In January 2010, four musicians from four different parts of Canada came together to create the Crimson String Quartet. Since their formation, the group has performed more than 200 concerts in more than fifteen countries. Always focused on their goal to make classical music accessible for the public audience, the CSQ has decided to leave the concert hall and forge their own path. Their “classical pop-rock” vibe could be described as an amplified hybrid between the Kronos String Quartet and Apocalyptica.
Thank you students and parents for attending our Student-Led Conferences.
REPORT CARD SURVEY.....Parents are asked to please fill out the following for PSSD. The purpose of this survey of parents and community members is to provide input into the way student learning is reported. Reporting takes many forms: conversations, conferences, letters, report cards and web-based systems. The questions you answer are about all kinds of reporting. You do not have to tell us who you are--the survey is anonymous--and the results of it will be used to help Prairie South Schools report in ways that support learning excellence for all students.

HOJA is coming to our school on March 29!
HOJA (hoe-jah) is Canadian acappella group formed in the summer of 1998 and originally based out of Saskatoon, SK. Over the past decade, HOJA has recorded five CD’s (selling over 25,000 units) and performed for more than 3,000 audiences (over 750,000 people) from British Columbia to Ontario. Our repertoire is filled with favorite songs from the 50’s to the present that span every style of music — from doo wop to rock, country to disco — no genre is safe from Canada’s favorite acappella heroes! Each member of HOJA sings a variety of different voice parts including bass lines, lead vocals, tenor and baritone parts, instrument sounds such as guitars and trumpets, beatboxing and drum noises, and assorted sound effects. Audiences are often amazed to learn that every sound during the performance is being created live by the singers on stage… there are no backup tracks!
