In order for students to participate, they must have a signed permission form turned into their GOV/ECON teacher or the counselor’s office.

Ben's Bell Staff Recipient

Our Ben's Bell Recipient for the month of March is Mr. Bruce Williams! Mr. Williams has continued to be a solid presence on our campus for the last 30 years. The relationships he builds with our students and staff are invaluable; he instills confidence, positive attitude, and passion in everyone he meets! No challenge is too much for Mr. Williams, and we are truly fortunate to have him as a Sabercat. Thank you for all you do Mr. Williams!

2023 Servant's Heart Award

Our very own Michelle Gonzalez, who teaches Sports Medicine and is our Athletic Trainer, has been selected for District Seven's Servant's Heart Award! Michelle has been chosen because she represents the qualities often associated with the term "servants heart"-- humility, selflessness, compassion, and a willingness to serve others. We are so proud to have you here at Sabino, Michelle!

Between preparing delicious food, adhering to nutrition standards, navigating student food allergies, and offering service with a smile, TUSD Food Services staff have a lot on their plate. To honor their hard work and commitment, please join us to celebrate and recognize School Lunch Hero Day on May 5. This day, celebrated annually since 2013, was designated by The School Nutrition Association and Jarrett Krosoczka, author of the “Lunch Lady” graphic novel series. School Lunch Hero Day provides an opportunity for parents, students, school staff and communities to thank those who provide healthy meals to nearly 30 million of America’s students each school day.
