This week, our Thrive Thursday Spotlight is Joe Holguin, from Fairacres Elementary!
Keeping a school spotless is no small task, but Joe Holguin has been doing it with a smile and a splash of creativity! As the lead custodian at Fairacres Elementary School, Joe isn’t just sweeping floors; he’s sweeping students off their feet with his mentorship, kindness, and artistic talents.
From crafting incredible props for school events to turning ordinary decorations into works of art, Joe brings imagination to every corner of the campus. His creativity isn’t just seen, it’s felt in the excitement of students and staff alike. And when he's not making the school shine, he’s sharing his knowledge, skills, and creativity to teach and inspire students.
As Joe puts it, “When kids learn, we all learn.” Fairacres is lucky to have him—because a school doesn’t just need to be clean, it needs heart, and Joe has been providing plenty of it!

Reminder! Las Cruces Public Schools will host the next Budget Town Hall meeting on Wednesday, March 26 at 5:30 p.m. in the boardroom of the Dr. Karen M. Trujillo Administration Complex.
Led by the Finance Division, the meeting includes an overview of the upcoming fiscal year budget, followed by an update on the budget survey, a public input process that was overseen by the Budget Survey Committee. The committee included teachers, administrators, community members and staff and asked community stakeholders to provide feedback on what they felt should be funding priorities in the district. Survey responses were collected between December 2024 and Jan. 31, 2025. Both the quantitative and qualitative data will be shared. The meeting is in advance of the Finance Division’s presentation of a proposed district budget for consideration and adoption by the LCPS Board of Education.
The public is invited to attend the March 26 meeting in person, or view it on the LCPS-TV YouTube channel (search LCPSTV on YouTube). There will be an additional Budget Town Hall meeting open to the public on May 7, also in the boardroom at the Dr. Karen M. Trujillo Administration Complex at 5:30.
Today, Vocational Rehabilitation Counselors Norma Amador and Megan Allen are working with students from Las Cruces Public Schools during the "Mock it 'til you Rock it" mock interview day.
