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.

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!

70 Years. Generations of Bears. One Incredible Community.
A Proud Past. A Bright Future.
A different setting can spark curiosity, encourage teamwork, and turn an ordinary school day into an experience our Bears will remember.
Learning isn’t limited to a desk or a textbook.
Our students and families enjoyed a delicious dinner thanks to the generous donation from Olive Garden of pasta and breadsticks.
Families learned ways to support reading at home, experienced the Acadience reading assessment our students take, made pasta necklaces and bookmarks, learned about dental health from our school nurse, and took home books to enjoy together at home.
Thank you to everyone who helped make our Pasta & Pages night such a success!

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!
