Message Corner Can you believe that we already had to spring the clocks forward? Now it will be darker later, wind will start blowing even more, and spring break is only a week away. Just wanted to pass along a friendly reminder about driving safely in our school zones. Recently I have seen and have received complaints about vehicles pulling into Centauri High School and Middle School campuses that are driving too fast. Please remember that in the parking lots, there is going to be pedestrian traffic. If you are driving too fast you may not be able to stop in time before something bad happens and someone is hit. Slow down, eyes forward and phone down. Thanks!! I also want to thank our schools, staff, students, and communities for the great support and thanks that our School Resource Officer Unit has been receiving lately. Deputy Lujan and I have a great time with our kids and want to help them in any way possible. We will always strive to build positive relationships. We truly love what we do! Great kids, doing great things!! Reading my newsletter may get you lunch on me! My last newsletter asked: Who was the commander of Fort Garland from 1866–1867, and why did he resign his commission? Ava Jarvies of Sanford HS and Samuel Chavez of Centauri MS both gave me the correct answer. Kit Carson was the commander and he had to leave due to health reasons. Thanks for reading my newsletter kids and keep on reading!! William, Jared and Josh from Sanford HS put together a project for FCCLA about drugs, addiction and recovery. They interviewed me and Deputy Lujan about the problem of drugs in our communities. We helped arrange a speaker to come. Paul Reed spoke to the students about overcoming adversity. His wife Kimberly and he started Hope in the Valley for rehabilitation services. Thank you, Paul and Kimberly, for speaking to our kids and for what you do!!
South Conejos held a first responder safety event learning from each on what they do. They were able to see Eagle Air Med land, walk through the ambulance, check out the fire truck, and my patrol truck. I even got some treasured note cards from a lot of them. I love my kids!!! Teen dating violence and healthy relationships Is this you or do you know someone that has a relationship like this? These things listed are not and never should be a part of a loving and healthy relationship. If you need help and are being controlled or abused, please reach out.
STATE BASKETBALL TOURNAMENT BOUND!!!! Congratulations to the boys’ and girls’ teams from Centauri and Sanford for placing first in their regional tournament. State bound this coming weekend for a chance at the title. Leave it all on the court Falcons and Mustangs and bring home the CHAMPIONSHIP!!!

📚 Happy Reading Across America Week! 📚 Ms. Danisha's amazing middle school Crew spent some time this week connecting with Mrs. Brenda's fantastic 2nd graders, and it was a total success! Our middle schoolers had a grand time helping foster a love of reading in our younger students, and the 2nd graders absolutely LOVED listening to stories! So much fun and learning happening across grade levels. As Dr. Seuss said, "The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you'll go!" Let's all keep reading and exploring new worlds! ✨ #ReadingAcrossAmerica #DrSeuss #Literacy #MiddleSchool #ElementarySchool #Community #LoveOfReading #ReadingIsFun

Friday 3/7 MS Wrestling @ Monte Vista 9 am, Saturday 3/8 MS Wrestling @ La Veta 9 am
The basketball season has come to an end for our Trojan teams, and while the outcomes weren’t what we hoped for, we couldn’t be prouder of their effort and determination. The Trojan Ladies fought hard but fell short with a 31-25 loss to the Moffat Cowboys. Similarly, the Trojan Boys battled until the very end, but they were narrowly defeated 26-25 by the South Park Burros. Both teams gave it their all, staying within striking distance of their opponents and showing true heart on the court. Though we didn't get the wins, the resilience and spirit they displayed all season long will be remembered.
