Ms. Richardson and Sierra Grande's woodwind players would like to thank Dr. Brooke Miller from Adams State University's Music Department for taking the time to come out and teach a clinic for our woodwinds today. Dr. Miller is the new Assistant Professor of Woodwinds and Music Education at Adams State. Our students learned a number of things from her about their playing and instruments. We would love to have her back out again in the future! Thank you again Dr. Miller!

Thank you to our amazing Cafeteria Staff for making healthy meals for our students!
If your student is bringing home an instrument this year, they have been graciously donated by the Bringing Music to Life foundation and instrument drive. Their mission is "providing every child with access to the life-changing experience of music". This program takes donated instruments and repairs them to playing condition. These instruments are then donated to schools who apply across Colorado and have benefited over 19,000 students. Due to this foundation, Ms. Richardson has been able to provide every middle and high school student in music with an instrument. She also plans to keep applying for funding to grow the Music Program at Sierra Grande. If you or anyone you know has an instrument that needs a good home, Ms. Richardson and the music students would love to give them a home!
Boys & Girls Club of the San Luis Valley is offering after school activities for kids ages 6-18. Call 719-588-7473 for more information.
