South Conejos wrapped up the final hour before Spring Break on a fun and energetic note with a Staff vs. Student Basketball Game! The gym was filled with tons of energy, smiles, lots of laughs, and even a little dancing. It was a great way to build school spirit and enjoy time together before the break. So much fun!!!

We wish all of our students and staff a safe, wonderful, restful, and well-deserved Spring Break!!!
