Village Meadows 6th graders took a field trip to the wonderful Carr Canyon. After a short hike from the parking lot to the Carr House the students were greeted by volunteers from several local nonprofit organizations. Tables with different stations were set up and as the groups moved from station to station, they learned about geology, local history and animals, trail safety, local plants and foods, astrology, and how to sketch. There were rock samples, sun gazing telescopes, a scavenger hunt, and much more to touch, feel and see. One highlight was Sierra Vista City Councilman Mark Rodriguez sharing his wisdom about trail safety and the secret of nutrition on hikes in the form of an MRE (Meals Ready to Eat). Mr. Rodriguez let the astound 6th graders taste pancakes, cookies, and a chicken burrito bowl. This trip truly brought our local environment and nature closer to our students. Thank you to all volunteers and nonprofit organizations (Friends of the Huachuca Mountains, Sierra Vista Astronomy Club, Friends of the San Pedro, Water Wise, Jeff McLeod).
Due to lightning, Village Meadows will be in a 30 minute weather delayed release. Parents can come to the office to pick up your student during the delay.

VM hands on science. Wolfpack 6th graders followed the tradition and became experts on shark adaptations and anatomy. The students have been learning about earth biomes and took a deeper look at the oceans and their ecosystems. To highlight ocean life the 6th graders dissected dog fish sharks.
JCMS 6th Grade Family Night. Last night JCMS opened its doors for families to stroll the campus, familiarize themselves with locations and ask questions. The Coyote Band welcomed the families outside on their way to the library along with PTSO Volunteers. After a short introduction by Principal Wright the visitors got to explore on their own, and if there were any questions the student council was around to answer them. Thank you team Coyote for welcoming everyone!

6th Graders are getting a tour of JCMS. All 6th grade students in our district took a field trip to JCMS this week to get first hand experience of the middle school. After a warm welcome by the Coyote Band and a short play performed by the theater class, the students were split up into smaller groups. Under the guidance of JCMS student council, the 6th graders toured the campus and got some insider tips from the 8th graders. Questions were answered and 6th graders were able to witness a passing period between classes. This is one of the biggest changes students experience when moving on to middle school, and for some can be a little scary. Being able to watch for themselves can help ease that fear.
On May 4th from 4:30 pm to 5:30 pm, JCMS is hosting a 6th Grade Family Night. The evening gives families a chance to tour the campus together. Thank you to everyone supporting these events!
