Today was the last Feeder Pattern Frenzy Spirit Parade with our Las Cruces High School Bulldawgs hitting the road to visit students at Tombaugh, Mesilla Park, Mesilla Elementary, Central Office, Central Elementary and Valley View Elementary.
There were special performances at each school that included cheer, dance, and a musical performance from students at the Elementary level.
Organ Mountain, Centennial, and Mayfield High School have already participated in the Feeder Pattern Frenzy Spirit Parade earlier this year.
The idea behind Feeder Pattern Spirit Frenzy is to boost school spirit and increase community support for our talented student athletes. If you’d like to show your support, bring the family to any of our LCPS games and NMAA sanctioned activities.

The lockdown at MacArthur Elementary has been lifted. Everyone is safe. There is no impact on release time for students.
