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.
At Las Cruces Public Schools, we are proud to lead with purpose by embracing green practices and building a more sustainable future for our students and community. From reducing waste and expanding recycling efforts to investing in energy-efficient cooling systems that keep our schools comfortable during the warmer months, sustainability is at the heart of what we do.
Through our partnership with the city’s conservation department, we are also taking meaningful steps to conserve water and minimize waste, strengthening our commitment to responsible environmental stewardship.
Together, we are creating a greener, more sustainable tomorrow, one small step at a time. Join us on our journey to reduce waste, save energy, and care for the Earth we all share.

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.

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!
See you back at school March 23!

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.
