Happy Thanksgiving, Acequia Madre family!
We are overflowing with gratitude for our incredible PTC. Your dedication, fundraising, and love for our school make every opportunity possible for our students and teachers. Because of you, this year’s Art Auction raised over $25,000 to pour right back into our classrooms. We are truly, deeply thankful. 🧡
A very special thank you to our generous Art Auction Sponsors: Chimera Ventures LLC, The Borneo Project, Caroline Rohrlich, Desert Casas LLC, The Bull Ring, Surroundings, The Chimayo Cultural Preservation, Enterprise Bank, La Mama, and Kokoman. Your support means the world to our small but mighty community.
Wishing you all a warm and gratitude-filled Thanksgiving. We appreciate you more than words can say. 🦃✨
