Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra to return to Rhinelander
Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra to return to Rhinelander
By Mike Cheslock-
A concert for the community is scheduled for Tuesday, Oct. 6 (the night before the student concert). The doors will open at 7 and the concert will begin at 7:30 p.m. Tickets can be purchased prior to the event for a reduced rate of $25 (adults) and $10 (students K-12) at the following locations: Latitude's, Northern Coffee Haus, Rhinelander District Library, Trig's, the chamber office, and Stoxen Pharmacy. Tickets can be purchased at the door for a price of $30 (adults) and $15 (students K-12).
The Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra tours the state before their regular concert series begins in late fall. "They have been performing in Rhinelander for the past 30-40 years," said Northwoods Concert Association board member Mike Wiernasz. The concert is made possible largely due to a grant from the Jean Simmons estate. This, in addition to other fundraising efforts, make it possible for the student concert to be free and the community concert to be offered at a reduced rate.

Digital Citizenship Tip:
One-to-One with Chromebooks
The School District of Rhinelander has implemented a One-to-One learning environment in several of our schools. The district is supplying students in a variety of grade levels with a Chromebook device that is the property of the district. The supplied instructional device's function will provide each student access to required educational materials needed for each student to be successful. The Chromebook allows student access to Infinite Campus, Google Classroom, Moodle, Google Apps for Education, educational web-based tools, as well as many other useful sites. The supplied device is an educational tool not intended for gaming, social networking or high-end computing.
The School District of Rhinelander is dedicated to the goal of putting tools into the hands of students to help support and enhance education. We are excited to offer both opportunities to our students and we have developed guidelines to ensure learning remains the key focus. For additional information and guidelines for our One-to-One Chromebook program, please visit the following website.
