π Pueblo Del Sol's DUST DEVILS from Ms. Kruse's and Ms. Mehl's 6th Grade Astronomy Day
in collaboration with The Astronomy Club of Huachuca City was a stellar success!
Superintendent Terri Romo joined in the fun and learning as one enthusiastic student guided her through creating a galaxy jar β a hands-on, creative way to explore the wonders of our universe.
Thank you to all who made this event out of this world! π β¨

πͺοΈ Heads up, PDS crew β Fall Break is coming in hot (well... more like crisp π)! Time to swap lunchboxes for leaf piles and alarms for lazy mornings. Donβt forget to plan some fun and tell us all about it when we return on October 14th! ππ

Ms. French's class has been working hard learning about the seasons of the apple tree, life cycle of the apple tree, and using our 5 senses. As an ending culmination of our 3 week unit the students got the opportunity to learn how to make their own homemade applesauce. They learned quickly that it takes a lot of hard work and time, but the end result was absolutely "devine" as one student said.

This is Terri Romo, Interim Superintendent of Sierra Vista Unified School District. Iβm coming to speak with you about a very important topic & we need our community's help.
As you have heard, we have an employee who has been arrested. Last night, I was contacted by the Sheriffβs Office and informed that they will be releasing an official statement encouraging families to share any information they may have regarding Mr. Benjamin. We stand united with the Sheriffβs Office in urging our community members to come forward with any and all information related to this matter or to any allegation of child abuse.
As shared by the Sheriffβs Office-
Due to the circumstances in this case, the Cochise County Sheriffβs Office is asking anyone who may have come into contact with Mr. Benjamin and experienced any suspicious/criminal activity to contact the Sheriffβs office immediately via SEACOM at 520-803-3550.
Even with all of the safety protocols school districts like SVUSD must follow when hiring staff-like fingerprint clearance cards, reference checks, etcβ¦.It takes an entire community to keep our students safe. We know it may not be easy, but we encourage anyone within this community to come forward and contact law enforcement whenever you suspect a child is in danger.
Iβm a mom, this is my community, and Iβve dedicated my life to caring for children as an educator.
Once againβ¦Please contact the Sheriffβs office immediately via SEACOM at 520-803-3550 or our local police department with any information related to this or any allegations of misconduct with a child.
We must stand together to protect our children. Please join me in this fight.
