❤️ Behind a week full of smiles, school spirit, and meaningful moments was someone who helped bring it all together—our wonderful counselor, Mrs. Tapia!
Thank you for the thought, planning, and heart you poured into Red Ribbon Week. You helped our Bobcats celebrate healthy choices, practice kindness, and see how much fun making good choices can be.
The dress-up days and activities created special memories, but the message behind them will last much longer: our students matter, their choices matter, and their futures are worth protecting.
Mrs. Tapia, we see your hard work, and we appreciate you. Thank you for making this week so special and for caring so deeply for our Buena Vista family! 💙💛🐾
