Veronica was instrumental in bringing her teammates together this week. She went out of her way to ensure player unity at the home matches for the varsity team and the entire program. Veronica positively impacted the court this week, where she had six kills. Veronica's display of selflessness on and off the court is a great example for all of our athletes. Damien placed 4th with a time of 17:05 (3.1 miles) at the Division 2 South Sectional Championships and led his team to a State Championship on Wednesday, October 23rd.

π SVUSD Schools Supporting a Great Cause! π
All SVUSD schools are proudly participating in the Edward Jones Food Drive throughout October! Each classroom is collecting non-perishable food items, and the classroom with the most donations will win a pizza party sponsored by Edward Jones for each site. ππ
But the real winners are our local food pantries and community members who will benefit from your generosity. Our students are excited to make a difference, and this is a beautiful example of how we can come together as a community to support those in need. ππ«Ά
If you've already donated, THANK YOU for your kindness! π If you'd still like to contribute, donations are being accepted until the end of October. Every can and every box makes a big impact! π₯«β€οΈ #SVUSDGivesBack #CommunityStrong #EdwardJonesFoodDrive #EmpoweringYou

Last home game before fall break


Jayden Thomas made a significant contribution to the team's 56-0 victory at Pueblo on Friday night. He returned a punt for a touchdown of more than fifty yards and scored two receiving touchdowns totaling 110 yards.' Caroline always sets a good example for the JVA team with her energy and diligence, but many people noticed last week how much discipline she allowed herself to have in order to improve herself and her teammates.


β οΈ Buena Connectivity Update β οΈ
Buena's loss of connectivity is due to a fiber optic cable being cut off-premises. Cox is currently working on repairs. While they haven't provided an estimated completion time, we anticipate the issue will be resolved before the start of business tomorrow morning.
Thank you for your patience as we work through this!
