We kicked off the weekend with our cheer team heading to State Cheer — they delivered a fantastic performance that made our whole school proud. Next up, our dance team took the stage with an outstanding routine and finished 5th overall in 2A/3A Dance — congratulations to each dancer for their hard work and poise!
Our weekend continued with the End of Season Tournament for our JH teams. All three teams left everything on the court — we’re so proud of your grit and teamwork.
We closed the weekend in style as both of our HS Varsity Basketball teams played in the championship games at the 2025 La Junta Holiday Shootout — and both teams brought home the championships! Way to go, Sanford School!
Thank you to our student-athletes, coaches, families, and fans for your support. Go Sanford! 🎉🏀💃📣

Sanford Schools is proud to participate in the Student-Centered Accountability Program (SCAP) — a collaborative effort among Colorado school districts designed to strengthen education through community feedback, data-driven decisions, and shared best practices.
The SCAP survey allows parents, staff, students, and community members to share their thoughts about our school’s strengths and areas for growth. This feedback helps us evaluate key areas such as instruction, leadership, culture, communication, and student support.
By completing this short survey, you are helping us continue to make Sanford Schools a place where every student can learn, grow, and succeed.

Attention Community:
We kindly ask that the preschool parking lot be used only by preschool parents/guardians for drop-off and pick-up. All other students should be picked up in the horseshoe area. Thank you for your cooperation and for helping us keep our students safe.
