We're proud to highlight Ms. Torres, who was recognized by the NMSU Physical Science Laboratory for her work during this year’s STEM Mavericks Summer Camp! A core goal of STEM Mavericks is not just to inspire students, but also to empower teachers to bring fresh STEM knowledge back to their classrooms. This year, five dedicated educators joined the camp, learning alongside students and contributing their expertise. Ms. Torres, who teaches AP and regular Biology as well as Chemistry at Las Cruces High School, is the first of five outstanding teachers the PSL recognized. Her passion for science shines through everything she does, and participating in STEM Mavericks helps her broaden her own knowledge while introducing her students to STEM fields beyond the textbook. Thank you, Ms. Torres, for your dedication to science and to your students!

Congratulations to Ms. Angela Frausto for being recognized by the NMSU Physical Science Laboratory for work in this year’s STEM Mavericks Summer Camp. Ms. Frausto currently teaches both chemistry and physics at Las Cruces High School. She really loves STEM and is passionate about teaching students how to use AI and coding in the real world. Way to go, Ms. Frausto!

Thrive Thursday This week, we’re excited to spotlight Breanna Santome, the Family and Community Outreach Facilitator for the LCPS Bilingual Community Outreach team! Breanna has been instrumental in supporting LCPS families, building strong bridges between the district and community partners to sponsor food drives, hygiene drives, and more. She's known for her creative, outside-the-box thinking and tireless dedication to making a difference. Through her leadership, LCPS partners with organizations like Roadrunner Food Bank of New Mexico, Walmart (Walton & Valley), Albertsons, Sprouts, Tresco Inc., Fiesta Foods, Las Cruces First, and SaveMart just to name a few. Today LCPS hosted its first drive-thru food distribution event at Central Office in partnership with Roadrunner Food Bank, an initiative Breanna helped bring to life! Starting today, these events will take place every first Thursday of the month at the LCPS Family Support Center (9:30 AM until supplies last). Thank you, Breanna, for keeping our students and their families at the heart of everything you do. Your work inspires us all. #ThriveThursday #LCPSCommunity #FamilySupport #StrongerTogether
