🌟 SVUSD Schools Supporting a Great Cause! 🌟 All SVUSD schools are proudly participating in the Edward Jones Food Drive throughout October! Each classroom is collecting non-perishable food items, and the classroom with the most donations will win a pizza party sponsored by Edward Jones for each site. 🍕🎉 But the real winners are our local food pantries and community members who will benefit from your generosity.

Jayden Thomas made a significant contribution to the team's 56-0 victory at Pueblo on Friday night. He returned a punt for a touchdown of more than fifty yards and scored two receiving touchdowns totaling 110 yards.' Caroline always sets a good example for the JVA team with her energy and diligence, but many people noticed last week how much discipline she allowed herself to have in order to improve herself and her teammates.

Deztany- In the first flag football game in the Buenas school's history, Deztany scored three touchdowns to seal the victory. Later, Deztany added a rushing touchdown on a punt return after scoring the first-ever touchdown on a kickoff return. Deztany was equally as effective when it came to playing defense. She was blocking passes when she was moved to the rushing quarterback, whereupon she repeatedly sacked the player, enabling Buena to secure the team's historic victory. Christian- With a low round of 40, Christian guided the golf team to win against Desert View last Tuesday. Additionally, he scored 66 points this past weekend in the Flowing Wells tournament, Christian used the Stableford scoring method, to lead the team in points. He led the team to eighth place out of sixteen teams, finishing 11th out of 91 golfers.
