SABIN STARS 4th Quarter 6th GRADE 7th GRADE 8th GRADE
Sabin student, CODY SMITH, has been selected to take part in a truly historic occasion—the Inauguration of the 44th President of the United States!!! From January 17 through 21, 2009, Cody will take part in what is the most historic and celebrated event to occur in our nation and which is the hallmark of our democratic government—the peaceful transfer of power to our newly elected president. While the entire world watches the President of the United States take the formal oath of office on television, Cody will be among the privileged few who experience this momentous occasion in person! As an Inaugural Scholar and special guest on the National Mall, Cody will not only bear witness as the President of the United States is sworn into office, he also will meet a major presidential candidate, White House officials, congressional staff, political experts and special VIPs such as Lance Armstrong, James Carville and Marlee Matalin. Following the inauguration, Cody will experience the sights and sounds of a jubilant nation during the inaugural parade and even attend a Black Tie Gala Inaugural Ball. Attending the conference also represents an excellent opportunity to explore the many cultural and historic sites that only our nation’s capital can offer. Cody has been awarded this special opportunity due to his scholarly achievements as an alumnus of both the Junior National Young Leaders Conference (JrNYLC) and the Junior National Young Leaders Conference Alumni Boston (JrNYLC Alumni Boston). At the conference, Cody will be honored as a distinguished young leader and accomplished student.
Congratulations to the following talented artists:
Vocal Music Several Sabin vocalists participated in the Pikes Peak Area Solo/Ensemble Festival at Wasson High School on Saturday, March 1st. Each of the students did an outstanding job and represented Sabin very well. Chase Webb received a Division II (Excellent) rating. Soloists receiving a Division I (Superior) rating were: Elijah Anding, Ashley Crance, Kara Cumpston, Janae Dickens, Matt DuBois, Allie Duensing, Haylee Ehrlich, Brittany Fahrenbrink, Haliegh Gray, Garrison Kretschmann, Edie Laird, Samantha Luick, Andrea Marcolongo, Macy Myers, Anjela Peterson, Marina Scholtz, and D’ahnya Trainer. The rating system is based on a scale from a Division I being the best, down to a Division V, needing the most improvement. The Sabin Middle School 7th & 8th Grade Chamber choir participated in the Pikes Peak Area Large Group Festival on April 15th, at Mitchell High School. Choirs are rated by 3 judges on a scale of I (Superior) to V (Unprepared). The Chamber choir earned a Division I rating for the third consecutive year. This is truly an outstanding achievement.

Orchestra The 6th-8th grade orchestra classes have had an exciting and successful year. Not only did several of our orchestra students audition and qualify for Honor’s Orchestra, we had over seventeen entries to ‘Solos and Ensembles’ representing students from 6th, 7th, and 8th grade orchestra classes, with fourteen entries receiving a ‘Superior’ rating and three receiving an ‘Excellent’ rating. In short, all of Sabin Middle School orchestra students who participated in this event received either a medal or certificate of honor. Furthermore, the 8th grade orchestra, with the help of our 6th grade bass player, competed in the Colorado High School Activities Association (CHSAA) ‘Large Group’ festival and received three ‘Superior’ ratings which is the highest rating that can be awarded to a school. Sabin will receive an engraved plaque for this hard-working group of students’ efforts.
