We are incredibly grateful to the NAMM Foundation for recognizing Las Cruces Public Schools as one of the 2026 Best Communities for Music Education.

This honor truly belongs to our students and music educators. Our students bring curiosity, dedication, and joy to every rehearsal and performance, while our teachers create the opportunities, guidance, and inspiration that make those moments possible.

We’re thankful to be part of a community that values and supports music education and overjoyed to celebrate the people who make it meaningful every day.

You're invited to a powerful and engaging presentation on Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) by Nick Chignoli, at the La Vida Project - Innovative Youth Programs & Resource Center in the HOK room, 118 N Main St, Las Cruces, NM 88001.

The presentation will take place this Wednesday, March 25, from 5:30pm-7:30pm. Please scan the QR code on the flyer to register.

ACEs include experiences such as physical or emotional abuse, witnessing domestic violence, or growing up with a parent who struggles with substance use or mental health. These experiences can have a deep and lasting impact on a child’s development but with knowledge, connection, and support, healing is possible.

This presentation is for parents, caregivers, teachers, neighbors, and anyone who is interested in building a community where everyone can thrive.

Join us to:
• Understand what ACEs are
• Learn how early experiences affect lifelong health
• Discover tools for healing, support, and prevention
• Empower yourself and others to create safer, more resilient families

Please see the attached flyer for full details, and feel free to invite a friend, coworker, or community partner.

We hope to see you there!

Unified Therapeutic Recreation Sweetheart Dance 2026

The Unified Therapeutic Recreation Sweetheart Dance brought together middle and high school students from special programs, creating a shared space for connection, celebration, and fun.

Throughout the school year, students work on developing their socialization skills, and events like this give them a fun and welcoming environment to practice those skills in a real-world setting.

For many of the students, the moment they walk into the room and hear the music playing, their faces light up. Even students who communicate differently can connect and express themselves through music, movement, and the comfort of familiar faces.

This dance is more than just a party it’s a social experience that promotes confidence, participation, and joy in recreation and leisure activities.

A big thank you to all of our wonderful special education teachers and staff, and to Sierra Middle School for hosting the event.
