Jaxon has had an outstanding year in our program. In his very first year competing, he earned a Silver Medal at the FCCLA State Competition — an incredible accomplishment that reflects his dedication, hard work, and skill in the kitchen.
He is always well-prepared and consistently practices and refines his techniques to perform at his very best. He also stood out by winning our Peep Challenge and quickly became known as our “famous green chile maker,” showcasing both creativity and confidence in culinary arts.
Mrs. Weisling and Mrs. Hunt have truly noticed Jaxon’s growth this year and are incredibly impressed with his natural talent for culinary arts. His passion, commitment to excellence, and strong work ethic have made him a standout student in our program.
👏 We are so proud of you, Jaxon! Keep up the amazing work!

Today our K–3 students had a special visit from SSVEC’s “Outlet” and “Toaster” as they brought an engaging electrical safety presentation to our campus! 👏
Students learned important safety lessons in a fun and memorable way, including how to identify electrical hazards in the home, the dangers of mixing water and electricity, fire hazards, and what to do if a downed power line or pole is ever seen.
SSVEC’s safety program is designed to help children understand that most electrical accidents can be prevented when they know what to look for and how to stay safe.
A big thank you to SSVEC for making safety education so interactive—and unforgettable—for our youngest learners! ⚡️🍞🔌


We proudly honored our senior players, Jaxson Brogan, Cedar Haynie, Adrian Nuernberger, Chase Pacheco and Cayden Richins, who have shown outstanding dedication, leadership, and commitment throughout their time in St. David baseball. From early practices to long games, they have represented St. David with heart, effort, and pride.
Senior Night is a chance to celebrate not only their time on the field, but also the lasting memories, growth, and friendships they’ve built as teammates, competitors, and young leaders. We are incredibly proud of each of you as you close this chapter and step into your future.
The Tigers went on to deliver a dominant 15–0 victory over Patagonia—an outstanding way to honor our seniors in their final home appearance.
Congratulations to our seniors, and great work, Tigers! 🐅
