During home games we have basketball practice at SGS and shuttle kids by bus. If cars park in this area, or on the gravel circle, the bus cannot safely make it through. They make a wide circle and the tail swings in a wide arc. Please do not park in these areas during home games.

It’s awesome to see our 5th graders riveted by Mr. Comley’s lesson on tied and slurred notes. His music class is an important part of developing the amazing students we have in Sterling. Not just because of the instruction in music reading, pitch, etc., but also because Mr. Comley reinforces the high expectations for behavior, participation, and effort that all of our teachers have for every student every day.
