Attention 4th Grade Tombaugh Parents!!!

A huge thank-you to the BLM Las Cruces District! Last week, their amazing team, alongside special guests Smokey Bear and Seymour the Antelope, helped educate thousands of fourth graders from across Doña Ana County at the 11th Annual Children's Water Festival! This hands-on outreach event, sponsored by the City of Las Cruces Utilities Water Conservation Program, focused on fun and interactive ways to teach students about conserving our precious natural resources. We’re grateful for the continued partnership and commitment to inspiring the next generation of environmental stewards! #LasCrucesPublicSchools #CityofLasCruces #BureauofLandManagement #NM #BureauofLandManagementFire

Today, we had the pleasure of welcoming students from Little Red School House & Elisabeth Irwin High School in Manhattan, NYC, as they traded the Big Apple for the Land of Enchantment to visit Las Cruces Public Schools. These bright and thoughtful students joined us to explore the importance of equity in public education and engaged in meaningful dialogue about the ongoing work happening in our district. A huge thank you to LCPS Board President Pam Cort, Superintendent Ignacio Ruiz, and Dr. Roberto Lozano, Chief of Educational Equity and Support Programs, for leading such an inspiring conversation. And most importantly, thank you to the incredible students and advisors from LREI for making the journey to Las Cruces.
