๐Ÿพโœจ Future Coyotes in the House! โœจ๐Ÿพ Last week, JCMS was thrilled to welcome all SVUSD 6th graders to campus for an exciting preview of middle school life! ๐ŸŽ‰ Our visiting students were greeted with a warm welcome from the JCMS Band and Student Council, followed by an introduction from Assistant Principal Pizutto and Principal Wright. They got a sneak peek at all the fun, learning opportunities, sports, and activities that await them next year! ๐ŸŽถ๐Ÿ“š๐Ÿ€ Student Council led small group tours across campus, giving 6th graders a chance to ask questions, learn the layout, and hear straight from current students about what to expect. It was a great day for peer-to-peer connectionโ€”because sometimes itโ€™s easier to ask someone who's been there! ๐Ÿ˜Š Weโ€™re excited to have them join the pack soonโ€”because thereโ€™s a lot of fun and learning ahead at JCMS! ๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿบ #JCMSCoyotes #FutureCoyotes #MiddleSchoolReady #SVUSD #WelcomeToJCMS #CoyotePride #GrowingUpFast

๐ŸŒŸ Staff Highlight for April: Mrs. Gracious Davenport ๐ŸŒŸ Meet Mrs. Davenport, our incredible 7th & 8th grade science teacher at JCMS! This is her first year as a Coyote and her eighth year in education, but sheโ€™s already made a lasting impact. ๐Ÿ’™ Gracious Grace Davenport lives up to her nameโ€”sheโ€™s passionate, warm-hearted, and full of laughter. Her belief in the potential of every student drives her mission to build a safe, supportive, and inspiring classroom. ๐Ÿ”ฌโœจ Originally from Florida, Mrs. Davenport moved to Sierra Vista with her husband, mom, and kids after her brother was stationed here with the Border Patrol. Her husbandโ€”who she met working at a middle schoolโ€”is now one of our amazing custodians! Together, theyโ€™re raising three little ones (ages 6, 5, and 1) and loving life in the SV community. ๐Ÿก๐Ÿ‘จโ€๐Ÿ‘ฉโ€๐Ÿ‘งโ€๐Ÿ‘ฆ Before becoming a teacher, Mrs. Davenport worked in daycare and was active in church youth programs. One special moment with a teen in her youth group encouraged her to pursue middle school educationโ€”and weโ€™re so glad she did! From stepping in as support for a sub while still waiting for her AZ certification to creating fun traditions like Student of the Week (complete with favorite snacks!), sheโ€™s all heart. ๐Ÿ’ซ She says, โ€œPeople make people, not money,โ€ and we couldnโ€™t agree more. Welcome to the Coyote family, Mrs. Davenportโ€”youโ€™re making a difference every day! ๐Ÿพ๐Ÿ’› #JCMSCoyotes #StaffHighlight #ThankATeacher #ScienceMatters #CoyotePride #StaffHighlight

๐ŸŒŸ April Teacher Feature โ€“ Mr. Austin Meckler! ๐ŸŒŸ Letโ€™s give a big shoutout to Mr. Meckler, our awesome Tech Foundations and Yearbook teacher at JCMS! ๐ŸŽ‰ This is his third year as a proud member of the JCMS teamโ€”he spent two years teaching Social Studies and now brings his creativity and real-world focus to CTE (Career & Technical Education). Mr. Meckler loves helping students explore life skills through hands-on projectsโ€”like his popular budgeting simulation, where students choose a city to live in, find housing and transportation, write checks, and see what it really takes to manage a budget. The surprise on their faces? Priceless. ๐Ÿ’ธ Outside the classroom, Mr. Meckler leads the charge on PBIS Tier One and brings the fun with school-wide events like Rock-Paper-Scissors tournaments, Simon Says showdowns, and Tic-Tac-Toe competitionsโ€”with awesome student engagement and prizes that build community and school spirit! ๐Ÿ†๐ŸŽ‰ He's also a martial arts enthusiast (since the age of 4!), gamer, our former wrestling coach, and proud husband and dad. Heโ€™s currently earning his masterโ€™s degree in education and is passionate about creating a classroom based on mutual respect and strong relationships. Thank you, Mr. Meckler, for the energy, heart, and creativity you bring to JCMS! You make a difference every day! ๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ’ป๐Ÿ™Œ #TeacherFeature #JCMSPride #SVUSDProud #CTEChampion #PBISLeader #MiddleSchoolMatters #ThankATeacher

๐ŸŽ‰ Meet Mrs. Fraiser โ€“ Village Meadows Teacher of the Year and SVUSD Teacher of the Year! ๐ŸŽ‰ Mrs. Danielle Fraiser is a passionate third-grade teacher at Village Meadows and has been an integral part of Village Meadows Elementary School since 2006. Thanks to the generous support of the SV Education Foundation, she has also been named the Sierra Vista Unified School District Teacher of the Year! This outstanding educator truly brings learning to life. During a unit on the history of the Titanic, students first explored informational textsโ€”then stepped into a transformed classroom where a scaled model of the Titanic stretched across half the room! For Mrs. Fraiser, learning is non-negotiable. She holds herself to the same high expectations she sets for her students, demonstrating an unwavering commitment to growth. When she says, "ALL students will learn," she means itโ€”understanding that while the path to success is rarely linear, it's always worth the journey. Known for wearing her heart on her sleeve, Mrs. Fraiser advocates fiercely for her students' needs. In her own words: "For real, letโ€™s go! We have work to do!" Recognizing Mrs. Fraiser with this award isn't just about celebrating her as an outstanding educator and devoted motherโ€”itโ€™s about honoring the deep, lasting impact sheโ€™s made on our Village Meadows Wolf Pack community. ๐Ÿบโค๏ธ Congratulations, Mrs. Fraiser! ๐ŸŒŸ #SVUSDTeacherOfTheYear #WolfPackStrong #InspiringEducator #VillageMeadows ##SVUSDProudARatedDistrict #EmpoweringYou

๐ŸŒŸ April Staff Highlight โ€“ Meet Ms. Sophia Macias! ๐ŸŒŸ Weโ€™re thrilled to celebrate Ms. Macias, our amazing 7th grade English and Honors English teacher at JCMS! A proud Benson native, Ms. Macias joined us in January after graduating from NAU in Decemberโ€”and sheโ€™s already making waves! Originally studying agricultural science, she discovered her true passion for English at NAU and hasnโ€™t looked back since. In her classroom, Ms. Macias brings literature to life with interactive notebooks, creative lessons, and meaningful conversations. Her students recently read The Giver by Lois Lowry and loved connecting with the themes of identity, choice, and community. As a first-year teacher, sheโ€™s embracing every challenge with heart, grace, and determinationโ€”building her classroom culture, exploring what works best for her students, and learning right alongside them. When sheโ€™s not teaching, sheโ€™s coaching soccer (a great passion sheโ€™s had since she was littlel!), working on her Masterโ€™s in Education, and spending time with her big familyโ€”sheโ€™s number 8 of 12 siblings! Ms. Macias says her students make her feel like both a grown-up and a kid at the same timeโ€”and we think thatโ€™s the magic of a great teacher. We are so lucky to have her as part of the JCMS family! ๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ“šโšฝ #JCMSPride #StaffHighlight #NewTeacherMagic #SVUSDProud #MiddleSchoolMatters #EmpoweringYou
