Now that the school year has begun, the Cruces Creatives team would like to inform all teachers and community members about their Community Share program, which allows teachers to receive mini grants of up to $500.00 per class! This initiative aims to enhance students' education by facilitating connections with community members to collaborate on meaningful projects. Students have had the chance to work with various professionals from chefs and food truck owners to senators and artists.
