Celebrating Young Artists in Las Cruces! We visited the Doña Ana County Manager’s Complex to celebrate the incredible elementary art students from Las Cruces Public Schools!
For more than 25 years, Doña Ana County and our schools have partnered together to give students the opportunity to showcase their creativity in a public space.
These young artists remind us that creativity has the power to inspire, connect, and transform our community, proof that big dreams often begin with a single brushstroke.

You're invited to a powerful and engaging presentation on Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) by Nick Chignoli, at the La Vida Project - Innovative Youth Programs & Resource Center in the HOK room, 118 N Main St, Las Cruces, NM 88001.
The presentation will take place this Wednesday, March 25, from 5:30pm-7:30pm. Please scan the QR code on the flyer to register.
ACEs include experiences such as physical or emotional abuse, witnessing domestic violence, or growing up with a parent who struggles with substance use or mental health. These experiences can have a deep and lasting impact on a child’s development but with knowledge, connection, and support, healing is possible.
This presentation is for parents, caregivers, teachers, neighbors, and anyone who is interested in building a community where everyone can thrive.
Join us to:
• Understand what ACEs are
• Learn how early experiences affect lifelong health
• Discover tools for healing, support, and prevention
• Empower yourself and others to create safer, more resilient families
Please see the attached flyer for full details, and feel free to invite a friend, coworker, or community partner.
We hope to see you there!
See you back at school March 23!
