Last weekend, the University of Denver honored some of our students who took the Explore Test this year. A number of them received High Honors and some Highest Honors. Due to privacy restraints, we do not have a list of everyone who was honored, but we do know that Josh A., Trent B., Richard E., Amanda E., Abby H., and Robin K. were among those honored, as well as a former student of Sandburg, Ian T.
In addition, two of our students earned special distinction. Trent B. earned the highest Science score in Colorado for 5th graders. Abby H. earned the highest English score in Colorado for 4th graders.
Congratulations to all who were honored at the Rocky Mountain Talent Search Award Ceremony at University of Denver on Saturday, May 9, 2009.
Sandburg's 1st & 2nd graders champion literacy by reading to preschoolers as "book buddies" on a weekly basis. In doing so, Sandburg earns bonus points from the Campbell's Labels for Education program. Thank you to parent Sara Albee for submitting the paperwork to earn points for our school; and thanks to all the students who make learning fun at Sandburg!

|  |  | Sandburg Elementary has recently assembled a digital recording studio! This setup, including microphones, digital keyboard, mixer and software, will enable our students to use their creative skills in new ways. In addition to recording live instruments such as guitar, trumpet, violin and more, students will be able to use loops to create new songs, add sound effects to their presentations, or soundtracks for videos created in the video production lab. Currently in the testing stage, the studio should be available for student use sometime in February. |  | | | |  |
