A HUGE thank you to the San Pedro Kiwanis of Sierra Vista for supporting our 5th grade Bolts and Dust Devils throughout the school year! πππ
Special appreciation goes to Lolene Paholke for leading this amazing Terrific Kids program and working closely with our fantastic 5th-grade teams at Huachuca Mountain and PDS!
This inspiring program recognizes students for reaching their personal goalsβand we love celebrating their success in fun and memorable ways! π
π Students received at their last ceremony school-colored baseball capsβblue or white for PDS, and yellow for HMEβalong with a permanent marker so they could collect autographs from teachers and classmates. Itβs a special end-of-year tradition, and many students treasure their hats for years!
Each time a student reaches a new goal, they receive a small reward:
β 1st time: certificate, bumper sticker, pencil, and a bag (with school supplies)
β 2nd time: pencil and bookmark
β 3rd time: water bottle and pencil
π Our Super Terrific Kidsβthose who went above and beyondβreceived a disposable camera and a photo album to capture their memories!
After the celebration, students enjoyed free time outside where they proudly signed each otherβs hats. We've even had former students tell us they still have their hat as a keepsake. π«
Thank you to all the families, friends, businesses, and supportersβand especially the San Pedro Kiwanisβfor helping us honor these hardworking, goal-crushing students! We are so proud of them! π₯°

πΎβ¨ Future Coyotes in the House! β¨πΎ
Last week, JCMS was thrilled to welcome all SVUSD 6th graders to campus for an exciting preview of middle school life! π
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! πΆππ
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 connectionβbecause sometimes itβs easier to ask someone who's been there! π
Weβre excited to have them join the pack soonβbecause thereβs a lot of fun and learning ahead at JCMS! ππΊ
