On Tuesday, January 13, the San Pedro Kiwanis proudly presented the Terrific Kids Awards to 22 amazing 5th graders at Huachuca Mountain! The Terrific Kids Awards are a motivational education program where students set goals with their classroom teachers—and when they achieve them, it’s time to celebrate!
Parents were invited to join the celebration, and students were recognized with goodie bags and certificates for their hard work and dedication . Each teacher also selected one Super Terrific Kid, who received an extra gift for putting forth exceptional effort.
Under the leadership of Mrs. Lolene Pacholke, the San Pedro Kiwanis is proud to present these awards once each quarter. Thank you to all the parents who came out to support the success of their students—we love celebrating these achievements together!

As you may be aware, Huachuca Mountain Elementary School was notified by the State Department of Education of an award of excellence for our school. On Tuesday, January 6th, we held a whole school assembly where Mr. Tom Horne, Superintendent of Education in Arizona, presented our school with an award of excellence. Check out social media and CoolFM for a recording of the presentation. If you are a proud Bolt family, please share events like these on social media and help us spread the word about the excellence your family experiences everyday.
We received a donation of four bicycles! These will be used to support an attendance challenge! Every time a student is in attendance an entire week, their name will be entered into the bucket to win the bike! The drawing will be March 6th, so students have 7 opportunities to be entered to win a bicycle!

A special thank you to Balloons and Beyond by Erika for the festive balloon arches that added extra cheer to the day. 🎄💚
