🎉 A big shout-out to our overall PBIS winners at PDS! 🎉
The Dust Devils with the highest PBIS points (classroom, specials, and anywhere on campus) per grade got an amazing treat! Thanks to SFE's (our amazing food service partner) Roving Chef program, these students learned to make their very own pizza, create a mouse delicious dessert, and even made pizzas for the whole PDS staff. Job well done, Dustdevils! 👏🍕🍰

🌟 Huachuca Mountain Leadership Day 🌟
Friday was Leadership Day at Huachuca Mountain, and it was truly inspiring to see students from Pueblo Del Sol, Town and Country, Huachuca Mountain, Joyce Clark Middle School, and Buena High School come together for an afternoon filled with teamwork and positive peer relations!
Led by Principal Perez and Elson, along with Mrs. Galbraith and Mrs. Neitring, our student council members embarked on four different activities aimed at building strong bonds and leadership skills. From problem-solving challenges to collaborative projects, every moment was filled with growth and camaraderie.
After an afternoon of hard work, everyone gathered for a delicious dinner together, followed by an exciting kickball game to end the evening on a high note. We couldn't be prouder of our dedicated student councils for their commitment to leadership and unity!
#HuachucaMountain #LeadershipDay #StudentCouncil #Teamwork #BuildingBonds #SchoolCommunity 🌟👫🏼📚
Happy Mother's Day to all the amazing moms out there from Sierra Vista Unified School District! 🌸💐 Wishing you a day filled with love, joy, and appreciation for everything you do. Enjoy every moment! #HappyMothersDay #SVUSD
