The Cochise County Fair is here, and we’re excited to see our students’ hard work on display! Several pieces of student work from across SVUSD have been entered in this year’s fair, showcasing the creativity, talent, and learning happening in our classrooms. 🧡💚
Several of our classes are also heading to the fair today for field trips! Students will have the chance to explore everything the fair has to offer, check out exhibits from across Cochise County, and—of course—find their own work proudly displayed alongside entries from throughout our community.
There’s something pretty special about seeing your hard work on display at the County Fair! 👏
Good luck to all of our student exhibitors, and have a fantastic day at the fair! 🎡🐷🎨

Yesterday, SVUSD was proud to host School Café, bringing together community leaders, local businesses, civic and service organizations, faith-based groups, and other community partners around one important goal: supporting our students and strengthening our schools.
School Café, an initiative of the Cochise County School Superintendent’s Office, creates an opportunity for schools and community members to connect, share ideas, identify needs, and explore meaningful ways we can work together.
A huge thank you to everyone who pulled up a chair, joined the conversation, and shared their time and ideas with us. Strong schools are built with strong community partnerships, and we appreciate everyone who is helping create more opportunities for SVUSD students to thrive.
Connecting Schools. Building Community. Supporting Students.

Get ready for a night of dark comedy, teenage intensity, and a whole lot of horse obsession! Buena Fine Arts proudly presents Horse Girl, a dark teen comedy by Jenny Rachel Weiner, on October 2 & 3 at 7:00 p.m. at the Klein Center for the Performing Arts at Buena High School.
At the center of Horse Girl is Ashleigh, a 12-year-old equestrian enthusiast whose world revolves around horses and her riding club, the Lady Jean Ladies. When the girls learn that their beloved horses may be in danger, their devotion quickly escalates into an increasingly wild mission to save them. What begins as youthful passion takes some surprising—and very darkly funny—turns as the play explores friendship, loyalty, obsession, growing up, and just how far someone might go for something they love.
But the story on stage is only part of what makes this production special.
This is student theatre from curtain to curtain. Buena students aren't just the performers you see on stage—they are involved in designing, building, and running the entire production. From sets and costumes to lighting, backstage operations, technical production, and even the ticket booth, students are gaining hands-on experience in every aspect of bringing a live theatrical production to life.
When you attend a Buena Fine Arts production, you're not simply coming to see a play. You're supporting student actors, designers, technicians, artists, builders, and creators who have put their talents and hard work into creating something for our community.

You’re Invited! Celebrate 70 Years of Carmichael Neighborhood School 🐻🎉
For 70 years, Carmichael Neighborhood School has been a place where generations of Bears have learned, grown, made memories, and built lasting connections. Now, we’re bringing our school community together to celebrate this incredible milestone!
Please join us on Wednesday, September 30, as we celebrate Carmichael Neighborhood School’s 70th Anniversary!
The celebration will begin during the school day with a special BBQ for current Carmichael students. At 12:15 p.m., families, staff, alumni, and community members are invited to join us for a Ribbon Cutting and Time Capsule Ceremony honoring Carmichael’s history and looking ahead to its future.
Then, from 1:00–3:00 p.m., the celebration continues with our 70th Anniversary Block Party! 🎉 Come enjoy food trucks, music, games, activities, community organizations, and plenty of Bear pride. Whether you are a current Carmichael family, a former student or staff member, or simply part of the SVUSD community, all are welcome!
Carmichael’s story began in 1956, when Margaret Carmichael donated the land for the school, which was named in honor of her husband, William Carmichael. Seventy years later, that legacy continues through the students, families, educators, and community members who have helped make Carmichael what it is today.
We hope you’ll come celebrate the memories, reconnect with old friends, and help us mark 70 years of learning, family, community, and Bear pride!

Carden is an excellent student-athlete and his teammates all look up to him. Carden works hard every practice and is a consistent performer at his meets. His teammates count on his leadership ability and his teachers all enjoy having him in class! Way to represent!
Maylene Larson consistently shows up to every practice, works hard, and has a great attitude. In the last game against Benson, she stepped up when we really needed her. Her serving helped bring us back into the game, and she also made some important passes. She is a great example of staying positive, working hard, being a great teammate, and always being ready when her team needs her.
Go Coyotes!
