Dear Sugar Bowl Academy Community,

What an awesome first week of in-person school! It was incredible to see our student-athletes excel athletically, academically, and personally. This past week set the tone for a fantastic year ahead. On Tuesday, we had our all-school adventure hike, a great opportunity for our school community to come together and enjoy the off-snow magic of Sugar Bowl. Wednesday we had an all-school meeting and discussed expectations for the year, focused on our updated handbook. It was inspiring to see the enthusiasm and commitment from students and staff. Thursday was SkillsQuest Fitness Testing at the Gondola parking lot. Our student-athletes got off to a serious start and we are eager to get the final scores. Friday was a regular schedule with school photos to close this first week out. We are ready for another week of girt, grace, and courage.

Regarding expectations, students and their parent(s) will need to acknowledge their review of our updated handbook this week. It's an important step to ensure we are all on the same page and working together to maintain this awesomeness throughout the school year, see more below in the school section.

Your engagement with and support of Sugar Bowl Academy are truly appreciated. If you are involved in a business or know someone who is, now is the perfect time to sponsor. Let’s get your logo on the coolest sweatshirts and t-shirts on Donner Summit and in the Bay Area. Don't wait as we are placing our order soon, and last year the logos on our sweatshirts and t-shirts were full. All the details to sponsor this year are in the athletics section below.

Thank you for your continued support and dedication to our Sugar Bowl community. Together, it will be another year of grit, grace, and courage.

Sincerely,
Stephen
Executive Director
