🌟 A Huge Thank You to the Arizona Flywheelers! 🌟
We are beyond grateful to the Arizona Flywheelers for their generous donation of four rabbit hutches to Verde Tech High School’s agriculture program! 🐇💚
These hutches will provide safe and comfortable homes for our rabbits and enhance hands-on learning opportunities for our students. Your kindness and support play a vital role in helping our program thrive and inspire the next generation of agricultural leaders.
Thank you for making a difference in our community and investing in our students’ success. 🐾🌱

🎉 Verde Tech Honors Algebra Celebrates in Style! 🧮🎉
This week, our talented Honors Algebra students from Verde Tech took a well-deserved celebratory field trip to Old Town Cottonwood! After months of hard work solving equations, tackling challenging concepts, and achieving academic excellence, these amazing students got the chance to relax and enjoy a morning exploring the charm of our local community.
From delicious treats at Sedonuts to uncovering the unique history of Old Town, the trip was both educational and fun! A huge thank-you to our supportive teachers, chaperones, and Sedonuts in Old Town that made the day so special for our students. 🌟
Let’s continue to cheer on these future math wizards as they keep reaching for the stars! 🚀
