Every morning and afternoon of every school day Mrs. Gleason is at the corner to help students cross 1200 North safely. She has been at her post for twelve years. Mrs. Gleason has three rules to make sure of the safe crossings: 1. Wait for Mrs. Gleason to signal you to come across. 2. Do not follow her out into the street 3. Get off your scooter, board or bike and walk across the street. All of the Mapleton crossing guards have a meeting with the Mapleton Police twice a year, she is part of a city wide effort . Mrs. Gleason thinks that Hobble Creek students are respectful and are the best students. She likes her job and wants to stay at her post helping the students on their way home safely.

Hobble Creek music teacher, Mrs. Keliiliki, wrote in a grant to the Nebo Foundation for a class set of ukeleles:  

"The ukulele is an affordable instrument that can be used to foster music literacy in the classroom setting. It is fun and simple to play, inexpensive, portable, and suited to any style of music. The ukulele will allow the children to explore elements of music including melody, harmony, rhythm, form, tempo, dynamics, and tone. 

With the ukulele, I will be able to focus on several areas of coordination and skill including: singing while 
playing the instrument (something that recorders do not allow), picking, strumming, ear training/tuning, sight-reading, improvising, music theory, harmonizing, arranging and more. 
Introducing my students to the artistry, beauty, and sound of the Hawaiian ukulele has always been a dream of mine as an educator. I appreciate and concur with the words of J. Chalmers Doane:
“It makes no difference what instrument you choose- recorder, trumpet, piano, bass, guitar, mandolin; none 
can compare with the ukulele as a means of music education in our schools.”

Thank you Nebo foundation!!!
