๐ At last night's Regular Board Meeting, Deputy Superintendent Steven Starkovich presented the #BeHereAlamo initiative. This initiative encourages APS students to attend school daily and emphasizes that #AttendanceMatters. ๐
Some incentives are monthly trophies, donuts with the deputy, and a grade-level pizza party for the grade with the best attendance at the school that wins the district-wide best attendance award.
We need the support of parents and guardians to help us encourage students to be in school every day! Please help us spread the wordโ#AttendaceMatters! Let's make every day count. ๐๐ฉ

๐ Please give a round of apple-ause to our wonderful APS Student Nutrition team! ๐
The APS Student Nutrition team was awarded $45,610 for the New Mexico Grown program for the 2024-25 school year. Last week, one of our local farms, Nichols Ranch and Orchards, delivered fresh Fiji apples to Alamogordo High School to be distributed to the rest of the schools. The apples ๐ went from their farm to our schools in less than 24 hours, and boy, were they delicious. ๐คค
๐Sierra Elementary kitchen manager Kim Maynez mentioned that receiving local, freshly picked fruit with a better taste was great. The kids thought it was fantastic that the apples came from a farm they could recognize. With this grant, the APS Student Nutrition Department plans to purchase New Mexico beef and other fruits and vegetables from across the state. ๐ฅฆ
