SANFORD SCHOOL DISTRICT CDL PROGRAM

SPONSOR RECOGNITION ON OUR TRAINING TRAILER

about 19 hours ago, Brooke Crowther
Dear Business Owners, Sanford School District is excited to launch a CDL training program that will provide students with the classroom and behind-the-wheel instruction needed to prepare for a Class A CDL. This program will serve students from Sanford and potentially other school districts throughout the San Luis Valley. It will help prepare students for careers in trucking, agriculture, construction, heavy equipment, transportation, and other high-demand industries. Launching and maintaining this program requires a significant investment, including the purchase and maintenance of a semi-truck and trailer, curriculum, instructional costs, fuel, insurance, and other operating expenses. We are inviting local businesses and community partners to support the program through one of the following sponsorship levels: • Gold Sponsor — $1,000 or more: Logo sign approximately 24" wide × 36" tall • Silver Sponsor — $500 or more: Logo sign approximately 18" wide × 24" tall • Bronze Sponsor — $250 or more: Logo sign approximately 12" wide × 18" tall Sponsor logos will be displayed on our CDL training trailer. The truck and trailer will be used regularly for student instruction and testing preparation and may also be featured in local parades, Homecoming activities, state send-offs, school events, and other community activities. This will provide participating businesses with ongoing recognition while directly supporting career and technical education for San Luis Valley students. I have attached a visual example showing how sponsor logos may be arranged on the trailer. Final logo dimensions and placement may vary slightly depending on the shape of each logo and the available space. Gold Sponsors will receive the largest and most prominent recognition, followed by Silver and Bronze Sponsors. Sponsors should email their business logo to jcary@sanfordschools.org as a high-resolution JPEG file. Please send the best-quality version available so it can be easily transferred to the company producing the logo signs. To ensure the logo remains clear when enlarged, please avoid screenshots or small, low-resolution images whenever possible. Sponsorship payments may be made by check and mailed to: Sanford Schools Attention: Joe Cary P.O. Box 39 Sanford, CO 81151 Please make out the checks to: Sanford School CDL Program
Please include the business or organization name and selected sponsorship level with the payment. Sanford School District will provide each sponsor with an official receipt acknowledging the sponsorship payment. Sponsors should consult with their tax adviser regarding the appropriate. tax treatment of the payment. We would be honored to partner with your business as we create this valuable opportunity for students. Please contact me at jcary@sanfordschools.org or 719-274-5167 with any questions or to become a sponsor. Thank you for considering an investment in our students and the future workforce of the San Luis Valley. Sincerely,

We are sad to report that physicals will not be offered at the school this summer. Please contact your health care provider to schedule it. Each student has to have a physical before they are allowed to start Fall sports. Thanks!

At Sanford School District, we believe success is about much more than test scores. While academics are important, we also want our students to graduate with the skills and qualities needed to thrive in life — communication, perseverance, problem solving, leadership, teamwork, responsibility, and character.


That is why we are beginning the development of a Profile of a Graduate — a community-driven vision of what we want every Sanford graduate to know, value, and be able to do when they walk across the stage.


This process is not just about the school’s vision — it is about our community’s vision for our students and their future. We want to hear from parents, students, staff, alumni, businesses, and community members about the durable skills and characteristics that matter most.

Please take a few minutes to complete our community survey and help shape the future of Sanford Schools:

Thank you for partnering with us as we work to prepare our students not only for graduation, but for success in life.
