Thank you to all the students and staff who made the day extra fun! Leadership, with the help of TUPE and @fnl_sbc, provided a vape-shaped pinata to break down, a rousing game of basketball goggle vs masks (simulating the effects of smoking now and in the long term), a tabling activity for healthy or unhealthy coping mechanisms to remind our students they always have choices, a trivia table, a balloon-popping challenge, and musical chairs. Here are some photos, I'll post more next week, and ovf course, you can find more videos and photos on our insta account #BuenaVistaFalcons

Thank you to the students who helped run our city and district during the Student Government Day 2025!

To Promote Kindness on Our Campus,

Your leadership team created a colorful chalkwalk with quotes about the power of being kind and an even more colorful banner, encouraging every student to be the “I” in kindness – it just takes one to get the good will started 😊

Buena Vista students got to enjoy a field trip to the Institute of Culinary Education, one of the top ranked culinary arts schools in the US! Enjoy these photos of students learning about the programs ICE has to offer, and the careers available in the Culinary and Hospitality Arts!  

Buena Vista's Traffic Safety Field Day was so much fun! Our Leadership class created several displays and activities, in conjunction with San Bernardino County's Friday Night Live Program, CVUSD's TUPE program, and with generous support from the Chino Police Department and the California Highway Patrol through the California Office of Traffic Safety Underage Drinking Prevention Program. 

Students were treated to pinatas, adult-sized trikes with "drunk goggles," interactive displays that covered trivia, the dangers of impaired and distracted driving, and seat-belt safety.  Students learned about sobriety tests performed on drivers suspected of being under the influence, the dangers of smoking, vaping, dabbing and otherwise consuming tobacco/nicotine products and cannabis products, and resources to help quit or reduce harm.  To "drive" home the dangers of driving unsafely, MADD.org had a trailer with the remnants of an actual crash caused by a drunk driver.  

Let us know - what was your favorite part? What will stay with you?

Don Schenkel Walkway

Construction around the campus and parking lot has been a challenge, but BVHS took the opportunity to honor our long-time Security Officer Don Schenkel with this walkway, unveiled in a special ceremony on Friday, September 20, 2024.
