Dear Friends of Las Cruces Public Schools,
Together we can help make the season bright by sponsoring an LCPS student in the Migrant Education or McKinny-Vento Program. With your support, we can make this holiday a truly special one for them.
A Star Tree has been set up in the front lobby of the Dr. Karen M. Trujillo Administration Complex, 505 S. Main, Loretto Town Centre, Suite 249. The tree has star ornaments with the names of students along with their clothing sizes and Christmas wish.
Please select a star(s) and bring it to the receptionist or Federal Programs Department to register your star(s). Gifts will need to be wrapped and returned to the Federal Programs Department by 5:00 p.m., Monday, December 12, 2022.
We appreciate your interest and support in participating in the 2022 Migrant Education “Wish Upon a Star” gift-giving project. To learn more or to refer others to join our efforts, please contact Iggy Campos in the Department of Federal Programs at 527-6643 or icampos@lcps.net.

Second Public Meeting Seeks Design Input on Columbia Elementary. Vigil and Associates, the architectural firm contracted by Las Cruces Public Schools to design the new Columbia Elementary School, will host a public meeting Thursday, Oct. 27 at 6 p.m. to gather additional input on what parents, staff and the community would like to see in the new construction of the school.
This is the second meeting Vigil and Associates has hosted to gather public input. The firm will provide a project update on the design using feedback from an initial public input meeting held Aug. 31. They will also present results from a student and staff input session held Oct. 10.
Columbia Elementary was closed in 2018 because of a mold infestation. Demolition of the building was completed earlier this year.
The Oct. 27 meeting will be held at Vista Middle School, 4465 Elks Drive, which is near the Columbia Elementary site. The new school has been approved for 752 students, up from the former population of approximately 550.
