It was a brisk, sunny morning at the Eric Wolf Invitational in Monte Vista, where our Trojans gave it their all! This meet marked the final race of the season for our hardworking Middle School Trojans. Our High School team now looks ahead to Regionals in Ignacio this Friday. Let's cheer them on as they continue to represent South Conejos with pride and determination. Let's go, Trojans!

Public Notice: South Conejos School District will hold a Board Work Session on October 16, 2025, at 6:00 p.m.

Dear Community, This year the South Conejos School District is hosting the local Trunk or Treat. We hope that combining our efforts with the community will make it easier on everyone who wishes to participate. Because we will be combining students and the community, we are planning for about 300 "Trunk or Treaters". You may already have been contacted, but as the time grows near, we are trying to confirm participants and donations before the Trunk or Treat on Thursday, October 30, 2025 from 2:30-4:00 PM. We would like to know by Thursday, October 23rd, so we can finalize our plans. It would be great if you could come to the event, have a decorated trunk and pass out the treats to the children. However, we realize that it is not always possible to attend in person. If you will not be able to attend in person we have some high school students willing to decorate their vehicle and pass out treats for you. (A sign will be posted to recognize your participation). Vehicles will be parked around the football field on the cinder track. Please, make sure you do not drive a vehicle onto the grass field! You will have access to your space at 1:30 PM. Please feel free to be creative and provide alternatives to candy: Pencils, pens, plastic rings, small toys, etc. Thanks again for your participation. Sincerely, South Conejos School District

We extend our deepest gratitude to this wonderful group for sharing their incredible talent and the beauty of our cultural Hispanic dances with our students.

A touch of magic came to South Conejos today as a couple of playful pumpkin fairies fluttered in and delivered pumpkins straight to our football field, transforming it into our very own South Conejos Pumpkin Patch! 🎃✨ Our elementary students had a wonderful time visiting the patch, exploring the pumpkins, and picking out the perfect one to take home. It was a day filled with smiles, excitement, and a little fall fairy magic. 🧚‍♀️🍂

National Hispanic Heritage Month is here! 🥳
