The halls are buzzing, classrooms are full, and we’re officially back! 📚✏️🎉

Today we welcomed our K–12 students for the first day of school, and it was wonderful to see so many smiling faces, reconnecting friends, and excited learners ready for a new year.

Here’s to a year filled with learning, growth, new experiences, and great memories. Welcome back, students—we’re so glad you’re here! ❤️

This is Mr. Jones, Superintendent of Sierra Grande School District. I’m asking for your help as we renew our focus on School Wellness Policy ADF-R and the healthy habits we model for our students.

Over time, energy drinks, soda, candy, chips, Takis, cupcakes, high-sugar snacks, and fast/outside food have become a regular part of the school day. Our goal is not to eliminate treats or outside food, but simply to be more mindful of what we offer and choose.

I’ll be the first to admit that I don’t always make the healthiest choice either. Personally, when our salad bar is offered, I find that I eat healthier. Sometimes simply having healthier options available makes it easier to make a better choice.

As a former PE and health teacher, I know that what we model as adults matters. Let’s encourage more water, fruits, vegetables, yogurt, cheese, whole-grain snacks, and other nutritious options while making energy drinks and high-sugar foods the exception rather than the norm.

Our school meals will continue to follow Colorado Department of Education nutrition requirements, and we will continue offering our salad bar with a variety of choices for students.

This isn’t about being perfect or taking away an occasional treat. It’s about being mindful of our offerings and helping our students develop healthy habits that can last a lifetime.

Let’s make healthy choices our everyday choices and treats our occasional choices.

Thank you for your support,

Kevin A. Jones

There just happens to be a golf course in between each conversation.
