Today, we want to give a special shout-out to five incredible women who keep Sanford Schools running smoothly every single day: Brooke Crowther, Shanae Larsen, Carla Miller, Lauren Solomon, and Michelle Vannoy.
These administrative professionals are the backbone of our school. Behind the scenes, they juggle schedules, solve problems, support our teachers, help our families, and ensure that our students have everything they need to succeed. From the moment our doors open until they close, they're working tirelessly to make our schools the welcoming, organized, and supportive places we all love.
Their dedication, attention to detail, and genuine care for our school community don't go unnoticed. Brooke, Shanae, Carla, Michelle, and Lauren—thank you for everything you do!
If you see these amazing ladies in the halls or around campus, take a moment to give them a smile, a kind word, or a heartfelt thank you. They deserve it!

Our fantastic finalists were:
✨ Ava
✨ Huntley
✨ Gabby
✨ Junior
And the BIG WINNER is... 🎊 JUNIOR! 🎊
Junior took home a $100 gift certificate for his outstanding performance. Way to go, Junior—you're a champion!
A huge thank you to the Colorado State Patrol for their dedication to keeping our young drivers safe, and to all our students for their enthusiasm and engagement. Drive safe, everyone! 🚗💨

Dear Sanford Community,
I want to make you aware of a potential power outage scheduled by Xcel Energy tomorrow from approximately 11:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m.
I have been in communication with the Town of Sanford, and they have assured us that water services will remain available during this time. In addition, the school has a backup generator that will provide limited power for essential needs. While this situation is not ideal, we are prepared to continue operating and keeping school in session.
Xcel has indicated that outages like this may become more frequent. If that is the case, we believe it is important to adapt and continue providing a consistent and supportive learning environment for our students.
Please know that your child(ren) will be safe and well cared for at school. Our food service team will still be providing both breakfast and lunch, and our staff is prepared to be flexible and creative in delivering meaningful instruction—even without full access to electricity.
We understand that situations like this may raise questions or concerns. If you would like to visit further, please don’t hesitate to reach out to me directly at 719-274-5167.
Thank you for your understanding and continued support of Sanford Schools.
Sincerely,
Joe Cary
Superintendent
