🏈 Once a Nighthawk, Always a Nighthawk!🏈

Three familiar faces from the Murrieta Valley High School Nighthawk family lit up TV screens last night: Tiger Bachmeier, Bear Bachmeier, and Asa Chapman, all proud Nighthawk alumni! ❤🦅

It was one of those moments that makes our community so proud. Seeing our graduates continue to compete at the collegiate level, and seeing the relationships and Nighthawk pride that continue long after graduation, is what high school athletics are all about. And the Bachmeier Nighthawk legacy is still going strong!

This weekend, the Press-Enterprise highlighted current MVHS sophomore quarterback Buck Bachmeier, calling him “Nighthawks Football Royalty.” Following in the footsteps of his older brothers, Buck is carrying on a remarkable family tradition at Murrieta Valley. 👑🦅

From the Nighthawk nest to college football fields across the country, we are incredibly proud of our alumni and excited to watch the next generation rise.

Lily inspires us and empowers us to make a difference during Childhood Cancer Awareness Month!

🎗️Meet Lily, a 2nd grader at EHC and a true warrior. For nearly 5 years, Lily has faced cancer 5 times. Each time she has fought her way through. Today, Lily is in remission from her 5th battle✨

Throughout Lily’s journey, her school has been there every step of the way. 💛 Her family says the school’s incredible support has extended not only to Lily, but also to her 2 siblings, who are part of the Murrieta Valley USD family as well.

When Lily’s family approached her Principal and Assistant Principal with an idea to recognize Childhood Cancer Awareness Month throughout September, they were thrilled to help bring her vision to life. For Lily’s family, EHC is more than a school, it’s family. ❤️

We are honored to stand alongside Lily and her family, to celebrate her strength and resilience, and help shine a light on Lily’s “Penny Collection” during this month. Her advocacy for families affected by childhood cancer is inspirational! If you have friends or family at EHC, feel free to give them pennies for Lily's penny drive.💛🎗️

Our Bus Drivers are prepared and trained!

🚌 When the wheels on the bus stop, so do yours.

School buses transport our most precious cargo. Every driver has a responsibility to help keep students safe.

Remember:
🛑 Stop when a school bus has its red lights flashing and stop arm extended.
👀 Stay focused and eliminate distractions while driving near school buses.
↔️ Give buses plenty of space as children may cross unexpectedly.

One moment of patience can prevent a lifetime of regret.

Help us keep every student’s journey to and from school safe this year.

🐊💙 There’s something extra special about the first day of TK when it’s also the beginning of the next chapter in a family’s Gator story!

Mom (pictured here) was once an Avaxat Gator herself, attending Avaxat from K- 5th grade; and now, years later, she’s back on campus with her own daughter, who is just beginning her TK-5 journey! 🥹🐊 From one generation to the next, the Gator legacy continues.

Same school. New generation. A whole new adventure. ✨

We can’t wait to watch our newest gator learn, grow and make memories of her own, just like Mom! 💙💛
