🎄✨ A Magical Christmas Experience! ✨🎄
Last Friday, the talented Buena Theater students, under the amazing leadership of Mrs. Duerk and Ms. Hampton, brought holiday joy to all SVUSD Kindergarten through 2nd graders with their outstanding performance of "The Day Before Christmas." 🎭🎅
For many of our young visitors, it was their first time ever in a theater, and what an unforgettable experience it was! The kids were absolutely captivated as they watched the heartwarming tale of Santa and his helpers teaching Jack Frost the true meaning of Christmas. ❄️🎁
The excitement was palpable when Susi Snowflake made it snow on stage! 🌨️ The kids couldn’t sit still, clapping and cheering, fully immersed in the magic of the performance. Afterwards, the students showered the performers with hugs and high-fives as they waved goodbye and headed back to their buses. 🚍💖
What a special moment for our young learners and an unforgettable holiday experience! Thank you to the Buena Theater students for bringing so much holiday cheer to our youngest SVUSD students! 🎉🌟 #SVUSD #BuenaTheater #ChristmasMagic #TheDayBeforeChristmas #HolidayCheer #EmpoweringYou #SVUSDProudARatedDistrict

🌟 Staff Spotlight: Cara McCrary, Principal Secretary at Huachuca Mountain Elementary 🌟
Let's take a moment to celebrate Mrs. McCrary, who has been an essential part of the Huachuca Mountain family for 11 years! 🎉
Born and raised in Tennessee, Mrs. McCrary’s journey brought her across the globe with her husband’s military career. They’ve lived in Texas, spent 10 ½ years in Germany, and finally made their way to Fort Huachuca. After her husband’s retirement, Mrs. McCrary began working at Huachuca Mountain, where she has held multiple roles: PE paraprofessional, kindergarten paraprofessional, and office clerk at Village Meadows before becoming our amazing principal secretary for the past 5 years!
Mrs. McCrary’s love for Huachuca Mountain runs deep, as does her passion for supporting Principal Perez, families, and the staff who make this school such a special place. 🏫❤️
Fun facts about Mrs. McCrary:
🎵 She loves music, especially Queen.
🏍️ She enjoys riding motorcycles with her husband, Dean.
✈️ Her time in Germany left her with a love for travel, a deep appreciation for family-oriented cultures, and even a stint playing the clarinet in a German music band! 🎶
👨👦 She adores her two grown sons, who make her incredibly proud.
Mrs. McCrary’s dedication, kindness, and adventurous spirit make her a true treasure to our school community. Thank you, Mrs. McCrary, for all you do to keep Huachuca Mountain shining bright! 🌟
