PRINCIPAL'S MESSAGE
The Town of Paonia, The Nature Connection, and the the Delta County School District are collecting data from Paonia families about how they get to/from school. Data will be used in a grant proposal to overhaul the 4th and Grand intersection and increase the sidewalk and crosswalk connectivity near the PK8 and NFSIS schools.
Safe Routes to Schools is a CO Department of Transportation Grant Program that provides money for walk/roll infrastructure near schools (sidewalks, crosswalks) and funding for educational programs to teach safe biking and walking habits for kids.
Please help support securing this grant by taking a short 1 min survey about how you typically get your children to school: https://tinyurl.com/SafeRoutesPaonia
If you have any questions or comments, please direct them to bgraves@deltaschools.com
Thank you for your participation and helping make our town safer for our children!

Help Wanted!
It takes a team to run our middle school sports programs. Mrs. Savory, our Athletic Director, needs people to help run our home games for volleyball, football, and basketball. We are looking for referees, clock workers, line judges, and sports book keepers. Some of these opportunities are paid! Please call the school and speak with Mrs. Savory if you, or someone you know, is available to help keep our sports programs running smoothly.
