🌟 Teacher Feature: Mrs. Jurik – A Kindergarten Legend! 🌟 For 18 years, Mrs. Jurik has been a guiding light in the kindergarten classrooms of Village Meadows—helping little learners take their first big leap into education! 🏫✨ To her, kindergarten is a world of discovery, and she loves watching her students grow from playful preschoolers into confident first graders. Her classroom, affectionately called the Puppy Pack, is a warm and nurturing space where every child feels valued and supported—a perfect fit within the Wolf Pack family. 🐾💙 Mrs. Jurik embraces hands-on learning and small-group centers, always looking for new ways to spark curiosity and excitement in her students. She credits much of her success to her incredible paraprofessional, Mrs. Urbina, who works closely alongside her. 📝🎨📚 Outside the classroom, she’s a devoted grandmother, spending time at the Reid Park Zoo and Children’s Museum with her granddaughter. She enjoys knitting, reading, traveling, and family time—and this year, she’s preparing for an exciting new adventure: retirement! 🎉✈️ Principal Mrs. Wambach describes her perfectly: "Mrs. Jurik is more than a teacher—she’s an icon, a leader, and a transformative force in the lives of young minds. She has become an integral part of Village Meadows, leaving a lasting impact on every student lucky enough to be in her 'Puppy Pack!'" Though she’ll be stepping away from the classroom, her legacy will live on in the hearts of the many students, families, and colleagues she has touched. Thank you, Mrs. Jurik, for your years of dedication, love, and inspiration! 💙🐺 Drop a 💙🐾 in the comments to celebrate Mrs. Jurik’s amazing career! #ThankYouMrsJurik #WolfPackForever #VillageMeadowsPride #EmpoweringYou #SVUSDProudARatedDistrict

📚✨ Huachuca Mountain Bolts Inspired by Young Authors! ✨📚 Huachuca Mountain students have been inspired by Anna and Ian Burnett, 17-year-old twin authors of The Queen of Spotland! 🐾📖 These talented young writers, who started their book at just 10 years old, began visiting the Bolts last week after Ms. Vinch discovered they live right here in Sierra Vista and invited them to share their journey. With testing season approaching, writing is more important than ever, and this was the perfect opportunity for our Bolts to learn from young authors who turned their love for storytelling into a published book. The Queen of Spotland began as a simple idea, inspired by their beloved Dalmatian, Becky. 🐶 Initially, Anna and Ian focused on Becky’s energetic and mischievous personality, crafting a fun and lighthearted tale. But as they grew as writers, so did their story! Over time, it evolved into a story within a story, weaving together themes of responsibility, adventure, and friendship—creating a book that resonates with young readers in a meaningful way. After years of dedication, revisions, and passion, their book was published in December and has already received rave reviews! ⭐️ The Bolts were amazed to hear how the twins nurtured their idea into a fully developed novel, proving that creativity and hard work can lead to something incredible. We’re thrilled that Anna and Ian will be returning for more visits, continuing to inspire the next generation of writers. Their enthusiasm, kindness, and connection with our students made for an unforgettable experience. Thank you, Anna and Ian, for sharing your journey with us! ✍️💙 #BoltPride #YoungAuthors #TheQueenOfSpotland #InspiredToWrite #EmpoweringYou #SVUSDProudARatedDistrict

In response, we made the decision to adjust our dismissal protocol to prioritize student safety. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused and appreciate your flexibility. Every decision we make is grounded in our commitment to keeping our students safe. Thank you for your continued trust and support.
