Start a habit.
We have a beautiful track around our brand new Football field.  We need to be proud of it and take care of it.  There should be no trash at all on the track!  I have found gum, sunflower shells, pieces of metal, broken twigs/stalks and paper trash! If everyone will do their part in picking up the trash our track will stay beautiful!!

Fun Activity.
Let your child create their own 3-D community.  They’ll practice map skills and learn about urban planning as they decide where to put the buildings in their town.
Materials:
Paper lunch bags, newspapers, crayons or markers, black construction paper, scissors, and tape.
Have your child think of buildings to include, such as a bank, a grocery store, a school, a library, and houses.  They can make them by drawing doors, windows, and signs on flat bags (on the side without the flap). For every bag they decorate, have them stuff a second one with newspaper. Then, they open each decorated bag and slide it over a stuffed bag so the “buildings” will stand up.  For the roads, cut black construction paper into strips and tape them together.  Finally, have your child lay out  their roads and arrange their buildings alongside them to make their very own town!

I am delighted to be a member of the Lordsburg Municipal Schools. I am a native New Mexican. I was born and raised in Deming, New Mexico. I have 5 children and 3 grandchildren. I have 9 years of experience as a teacher in public education in Deming, New Mexico, 6 years as an administrator in the state of New Mexico, and 7 years as an administrator in the state of Colorado. I hold a B. A. in elementary education; an M.A.T. in elementary education and an M.A. in school administration. All from Western New Mexico University.
I have worked with many different civic organizations within communities in gaining support for education. I have served on many and various boards such as School to Work, Chamber of Commerce and one for children at risk. Students are my business. I firmly believe that students can learn if the environment is designed to be conducive to learning. This includes such things as improving instructional materials, professional development, and having specialized resources for students that address their exceptionalities. Please come and volunteer at RVT,
parent involvement is essential for everyone’s learning.
