USD 376 would like to announce our "Game Day Giveback" night. This Friday, the 31st at the high school football game, we will be collecting donations to give to our local food bank to support families in need. A portion of the gate along with any free will donations will be collected on Friday night. If you are not attending the game, but still want to give, you may do so by bringing your donation to the high school office by Friday at noon. Come out and support our bears and our community!
USD376 would like to notify our community about document access issues on the district website. The district website's hosting company, Apptegy, implemented feature enhancements over the weekend, focusing on organizing various publicly available documents. Unfortunately, those enhancements were not entirely successful. We apologize for any inconvenience and will notify everyone once the issues have been resolved.

Mrs. Brownlee attended the 2025 AASL National Conference for librarians in St. Louis this week, where she was also asked to present a lesson to other educators. Her presentation was a huge hit with K - 12 graphic novel lovers. She taught other educators and librarians how Graphic Novels can be powerful tools for educating people about important social issues. We are blessed at Sterling our students and teachers get to learn from one of the BEST librarians in the country.
