A message from PAPA: Announcements Week of 5/2/22

Thank a Teacher!
This week is national teacher appreciation week.

Teachers play a key role in student success and sometimes a simple “thanks” is all a teacher needs to feel valued. Take time to celebrate teachers and let them know that you appreciate them! “A single teacher can make all the difference for thousands and thousands of students- that is the immense power of education, that long-lasting chanfe that educators make in a student’s life. I am so grateful to every New Mexico educator who has answered the call to educate, care for and advocate for their students, and I invite every New Mexican to join me this Teacher Appreciation Week in saying thank you to a teacher who has made a difference.” Gov. Lujan Grisham.

May 6 is lunch hero day, thank you to our lunch hero Procopio Padilla for all you do!
