USD 376 Wellness Committee invites you to walk your Bear Cub to School Day! Bus Kids and Rural Kids whose parents drive them to school can participate too. Here's how: Our bus drivers are all on board to park the buses at Sterling High School and accompany the bus kids on their "walk to school" from the high school to Sterling Grade School for full participation credit.​ Also, rural kids whose parents drive them​ to school may do the same as the buses do. Park​ at the high school and walk your children to the grade school. Remember! Enter ​Sterling Grade School through the FRONT doors to get your child/children entered into the drawing​ for Book vending machine tokens. Hope to see you all "Walking for Wellness"!
