Gold, Purple and Silver Orchestra with Ann Medellin
Happy August to everyone in STRING land! I can’t wait to see my students, but most importantly my NEW students and families! I want to introduce myself briefly, my name is Ann Medellin and I teach at both Jason Lee MS and Gaiser MS. I am a National Board Certified Teacher, a professional violinist, and BIG activist in regard to community outreach and engagement. I love connecting with families and setting up my students for success. Do not be surprised by my two schools doing things together- it’s better together sometimes!
The students new to string class will be discussing choices of instruments the first days of school. The choices are violin, viola, cello, and string bass. We want to have well-balanced classes, and therefore I will strongly encourage students to choose a first choice instrument and a second choice instrument. I’d like students to explore the choices before making a decision
- All NEW students and families will be invited to a STRING ORIENTATION AND INFORMATION MEETING on Thursday, September 7 at Gaiser Middle School’s Instrumental Room (right off the front parking lot). I will have a local business there to help support the evening. It’s always a good night to meet each other and explore. Please plan on attending. The location will be at Gaiser Middle School is located at 3000 99 th Street, Vancouver WA 98665. The event is from 6:30 PM-7:30 PM.
For students in the Intermediate and Advance Classes, our focus will be on getting All-State
Music learned in hopes that some of you will be ready to audition at the end of September.
FREE C TRAN FOR STUDENTS
Due to the passage of the Let's Move Washington bill in 2022, all Washington children under the age of 18 were able to ride public transit for free as of October 1 of last year. As of this week, C-Tran has decided it will stop requiring fares (YOPs) for all children under the age of 18.
For students who could look 18 or older they may be asked to show their ID but their school ID will suffice. Children 9 and under must ride with a guardian or other adult.
