Sierra Grande Athletics is looking for Game Ball and Hudl Sponsors for this year's athletic events. Hudl is a new platform where we will be broadcasting games in addition to the NFHS Network that we already use. Your business logo will appear on our game thumbnails all year on Hudl's website in addition to the Daktronics board like last year. You will also still deliver the game ball to the officials before the start of the game and have your logo printed in the programs. Message me or email me to sign up or for additional information.

Meeting tonight!

Sierra Grande Families:

Your student will have the chance to take the Healthy Kids Colorado Survey on September 2. It’s short, anonymous, and a way to share what life is really like for teens here. The more of those who take it, the better schools and communities can support what students actually need.
Your students voice matters—but if you choose to not participate; please sign the google form attached or the document your student received to opt out. These forms need to be returned by 8/28.

Calling all community members and parents of Sierra Grande Athletes! The Sierra Grande Booster Club has historically been a monumental part of Sierra Grande Athletes and Activities. They have donated countless hours of time and resources for things such as t shirts, goodie bags, competition fees, banquets, senior plaques/banners and so much more to ensure our students have an amazing experience at Sierra Grande. Sadly, it is on the verge of disappearing so we need your help!! If you have any interest at all in seeing this great tradition continue at Sierra Grande please come to the school's innovation lab this Thursday any time between 4:30-6pm. (you do not have to be there the whole time). You can also email me if you can't make it on Thursday but would like to help. mshawcroft@sierragrandeschool.net

🌟 Sierra Grande Spotlight! 🌟

We are so proud to share that FIVE of our amazing educators—the Paine family—were featured in a Colorado Public Radio story highlighting their incredible impact here at Sierra Grande!

Travis (elementary principal), Tiffany (kindergarten), Brooke (high school English), Cody (high school social studies), and Sarah (elementary aide) truly embody what it means to be part of the Sierra Grande family. Their dedication, teamwork, and heart for our students shine every single day.

Having their story shared across Colorado is a celebration not only of them, but of the strength and spirit of our entire community.

Check out the full article here: https://www.cpr.org/2025/08/13/5-family-members-teach-sierra-grande-school/

Please join us in congratulating and celebrating the Paine family—thank you for making Sierra Grande such a special place to learn and grow!
