Vista Students Spearheads Mural Project
Bathrooms at Vista del Sur now feature uplifting messages in the form of murals – thanks to the leadership of one of their students.
Keely Lotz spearheaded the project to install messages of kindness. For this work, she was selected as an Uvalde Foundation for Kids Arizona Student Ambassador. Ambassadors represent the Foundation’s mission to end violence.
12 News ran a story on this project. Watch it here: https://www.12news.com/article/life/heartwarming/valley-student-paints-positive-messages-on-school-bathroom-walls/75-223dd967-158c-474a-b3fc-ce840b21e5a0
Vista del Sur 7th graders recently participated in the Youth Frontiers Courage Retreat
The retreat is put on by Youth Frontiers, based out of Minnesota. The end goal is for students to learn how to act with courage to build a positive school culture and climate.
Vista also had several student volunteers from Cesar Chavez High School support with small group facilitation. These high school students were chosen by their teachers based on their academic merit, athletics, and leadership skills.

MESA Day
Students from Vista del Sur participated in the MESA (Mathematics, Engineering, Science Achievement) Regional Design Day at GCU on February 11. Students either participated in challenges or received feedback on their designs. Vista’s On-Site Engineering team placed second out of approximately 25 teams during this regional competition. The Vista Hack Attack group was able to compete against other teams, and consistently ranked in the top 5 during those practices. This group will now use the practice and feedback from Saturday to help them prepare for MESA Day, which will be held at GCU on May 6.
