What a morning! The Buena SLAC team came to play kickball and snowball with our student's who purchased the opportunity through PBIS! Third grade came the closest to beating the high schoolers but fell short 6 to 7. It is so amazing to see our past Lightning Bolts come back and have fun with future Buena Colts!
The Scholastic PTO Book Fair ends tomorrow, 1/30/26!
The Lightning Bolt PTO wants your pennies! The stores don't want your pennies but WE DO! Check your couch cushions, cup holders and piggy banks to "cash in" on this chance to support our school! It just makes "cents" to support Lightning Bolt PTO!

In Arizona, school funding is tied to student enrollment. The number of teachers at Huachuca Mountain are set by the number of students who are enrolled. We love every single member of our team! Please help us, by re-enrolling today! It is so important for us to know what staff we need, based on enrollment. If you are in-zone, you receive priority enrollment. However, out-of-zone enrollment will be opening soon, don't lose your spot! If you have friends or family interested in Huachuca Mountain, have them enroll today!
Remember, we are becoming a K-8 school! Your 6th grade child can stay with us for middle school! I will be hosting another open house to answer questions, but we only have 60 seats for 7th grade. Make sure you reserve your place.

Dear SVUSD Families,
We are excited to invite you to Talk with Terri, a special community listening event with Superintendent Terri Romo.
Thursday, January 29
5:00–6:00 PM
Rothery Education Conference Room
This event is not a presentation or formal meeting—it is a listening tour designed specifically for Superintendent Romo to hear directly from our families. This is an opportunity for parents and guardians to share their questions, concerns, experiences, and ideas as we work together to support students and strengthen our schools.
Superintendent Romo’s priority is to listen, learn, and better understand what matters most to you. Your voice is important, and your feedback will help inform the future of Sierra Vista Unified School District.
Everyone is welcome, and we encourage all families to attend and take part in this open, welcoming conversation about our schools, our community, and our future.
We hope you will join us for this important opportunity to be heard.

Today we celebrate Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. 🌈
He taught us to be kind, fair, and to stand up for what is right.
Let’s remember his dream by using our words to help, our actions to care, and our hearts to include everyone. 💙
We hope everyone enjoys their day off, and we can’t wait to welcome everyone back at school tomorrow! 😊

Just a friendly reminder that there is no school on Monday, January 19, in observance of Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, which is a federal holiday. Thank you!
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!
