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.


If you are unable to make to the meeting tonight, but want to help, please fill out this short survey


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.

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.

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