What an incredible day at last week’s Elementary Track Day! 🏃♂️🏃♀️💨
Students from all of our elementary schools came together at Buena High School to compete in a fun-filled day of track and field events. From sprints and relays to long jump and mile runs, our students gave it their all, showed amazing sportsmanship, and had an absolute blast!
A huge thank you to all of our PE teachers for helping organize this fantastic event — especially Coach Mac from Huachuca Mountain Elementary School for all of the hard work and coordination that made the day such a success.
We also want to give a special shout out to the Buena Track & Field student-athletes and Coach Bristow for volunteering their time and helping encourage our future Colts throughout the day!
And finally, thank you to Ed Morse Automotive Group
for generously sponsoring t-shirts for every student participant. Your support helped make the day even more memorable for our students!

Last week, our freshmen scientists in Honors Biology took on a real-world investigation into Valley Fever! 🧪🌵
After learning about the important role fungi play in ecosystems, the symptoms of Valley Fever, and why some individuals are more genetically vulnerable to severe illness, students stepped into the lab to put their knowledge into action.
Using DNA samples isolated from soil collected across various Southwest U.S. cities, students performed gel electrophoresis to analyze the presence of the fungus responsible for Valley Fever. Their mission: identify how widespread the fungus is and pinpoint potential “hot spots.”
Real-world science, critical thinking, and hands-on learning in action—this is what it means to be a Colt! 🐎✨

In the face of heartbreak, our SVUSD family showed the true meaning of compassion and unity. 💙
Following the loss of two beloved members of the Bella Vista Bobcat family, students from across all of our schools came together to create hearts filled with messages of love and support.
On Wednesday evening, after campuses had quieted, our principals walked the halls of Bella Vista, carefully hanging each heart. Together, they filled the office and cafeteria with warmth and surrounded the space between the two classrooms with an outpouring of care—creating a powerful reminder that no one grieves alone.
We are incredibly proud of how our SVUSD family has come together to lift up one another during this difficult time. 💙

🎓 Welcome Future Colts! 🎓
Yesterday we had the pleasure of welcoming the incoming Class of 2030 as our Joyce Clark Middle School 8th graders visited Buena High School for a special campus tour and celebration!
Students enjoyed lunch on campus and were treated to incredible performances by Buena’s Choir, Band, Milk Carton Improv Troupe, and the JROTC Rifle Team. They also toured the school alongside our Buena Thespian students, who shared what life at Buena is really like.
Throughout the visit, students heard directly from Buena students about CTE programs, clubs, and opportunities, were cheered on by the Buena Cheer Squad, and had some fun playing games with Student Council to win some Buena swag!
