We couldn't have done it without your generosity! A special shout-out to our incredible PTO for their participation today and for inviting the Bunny to come and say hello! The students were so excited! 😊 And thank you to all the high school helpers and staff who volunteered their time to pass out eggs and help students. You guys were amazing! Despite the wind, our students had a blast finding all the hidden treasures!

The Rabbit The School Resource Officer Newsletter North Conejos, Sanford, and South Conejos Schools Sgt. R.L. Noga, SRO Message Corner Have you noticed lately that the days are longer, weather is warning up, and the school year is almost over? Just because school is almost out, don’t lose sight of what needs to be accomplished. Press on and finish strong. I want to also take this time to talk about the truancy issues that we have in all of our school districts. I am not exactly sure why there is a very huge problem with kids not going to school. I have asked all our schools to gather statistics on just how big the problem is. The couple that I have gotten already, the number is astonishing. Just an example, about 25% of 10th graders in one of the schools are considered truant. When students have missed a certain number of days, steps are taken to remedy the issue. If the issue persists, it could lead to court appearances. We want to stop it before it ever has to get that far. Attending school is important for our youth to succeed. I look at this issue to see how we can help the student and family attend school. Please help, and send them to school. DUI Drama sends message...Make good choices!! As proms get closer, we need to have conversations about making good choices. I recently went and helped Monte Vista HS with a DUI drama. I have helped Melissa many years with this by speaking to the students. I lost two friends during my junior year prom in 1987 in a car crash. Needless to say, this time of year is always hard and brings back those memories of what it was like to lose them. As you get dressed up, wash the car, and take many photos, enjoy your prom but please attend your after proms. But most of all, MAKE GOOD CHOICES. Decisions that end in tragedy can never be taken back. Reading my newsletter may get you lunch on me! Bailey Armstrong from North Conejos, and Raelee Atencio and Alejandro Trujillo from Sanford answered my riddle correctly last month. The thing that began and ended with a T and had T in it was a teapot. Thanks for reading my newsletter and playing along. Another chance this month!!
Art and messages around the schools Talent on display. I just want to open that art and eat what is inside What makes our schools safe? Lots of things do We as a community, along with our staff and student body, all play a vital role in keeping our schools safe. Propped open doors pose a big threat to the schools. That is an easy way for an intruder to gain access. We can never assume that it is okay for even having it propped for just “a minute”. We must pay attention to who is on our campus. If someone is just walking around not conducting any type of business or they have no business at all being there, they need to be asked. If someone is in the building that we do not recognize, they need to be challenged and taken to the front office. When we have control of who enters the buildings through the main entry only, that gives us a way to be able to vet those who have business at the school. If other doors are utilized for entry, that poses a great risk for the safety within our buildings. Also if someone is heard posing a threat to one of our schools, or posts are being made on social media, then we all need to say something. Not tomorrow, not next week, but RIGHT NOW. When we can catch this leakage early, a tragedy can be averted. It is up to all of us to make sure this happens Thank you for helping in making our schools a safe environment for our kids to learn. E Quote Corner "The beautiful thing about learning is that no one can take it away from you." ~ B.B. King Thanks for taking the time to read my newsletter. If you see me or Dep. Lujan, tell us the answer: What was the first consolidated school in that San Luis Valley?
