Dear all,
Ms. Patti (Kindergarten) received a Teachers Who Inspire award this afternoon from Partners in Education. The entire school came together to celebrate and we had several board members, the assistant superintendent, and the superintendent in attendance. There will be a news article in the Sante Fe New Mexican over the weekend to detail the event.
I am beyond thankful to be working with a very talented crew of educators! Together we uphold the strong Acequia Madre legacy!!!
Best,
Dr. D.
Here's a link to the speech I gave in honor of Ms. Patti: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Ywkn30Oimf19IPPxfCWw25vWH-maZDGYnd-lskqj0hs/edit?usp=sharing

The Santa Fe High School (SFHS) Band will be sporting new band uniforms within the next year. The new uniforms are being purchased with $164,000 in federal ESSER funds, which are set to expire in September.
"It's wonderful to have a little pot of remaining ESSER funding to provide this important need and SFPS Board of Education priority. We look forward to seeing the SFHS Band perform in their new attire at their home stadium and at other venues far and wide," said Superintendent Hilario "Larry" Chavez.
In making its request to the New Mexico Public Education Department to use ESSER funding to purchase the band uniforms, SFPS said, "Band performances help reignite our schools as centers of our community and culture, and in turn will boost school attendance. Furthermore, music performances are part of culturally relevant instruction and practice."
