1. Our Amazing Shake is tomorrow 9 to Noon. Judges please arrive at 8:30am.
2. The Final DAC meeting for the year has been rescheduled to May 16th at 5:30 at Tombaugh Elementary.
3. At our last PTO meeting, it was decided that our 8th grade celebration will be on May 26th at 6pm.
Traditionally the ceremony includes some refreshments. The PTO brainstormed some ideas, but encourages 8th grade parents to come in and give their input. The meetings to plan the celebration are:
May 4th on Zoom at 6pm. Be on the lookout for that link.
May 23rd in person at 6pm at the school to finish up the planning and possible decorations.
Each student can have 5 tickets. If they do not need 5 tickets we ask that they turn in the extras.
Join us for the Family Bike Fiesta on Saturday April 29th from 9am - noon at Lynn Community Middle School. Find us on the basketball courts west of the gym off Nevada Ave. This event is brought to you by the LCPS Safe Routes To School Program.
Kids, bring your bikes! (If you don't have a bike, borrow one from us.) Adults, bring your bikes and helmets for the community ride. Please note, all the stations are for the students, but adults, we want you to learn and enjoy with your kids. Everything is first come, first served and while supplies last.
Join us for our Family Engagement Festival happening on Friday April 28, from 6p.m.-8p.m. at Desert Hills Elementary School located at 280 N. Roadrunner Pkwy, Las Cruces, NM 88011. You must register for the event before the deadline on Monday, April 21, 2023. For more information, contact Kimberly: York-kimberly.york@ped.nm.gov

The Keep Las Cruces Beautiful program is holding a Youth Service Week from April 24-29. During this week youth, groups have the opportunity to complete a community service project that will clean up an area in Las Cruces. As a token of appreciation for the community service, the group will earn a $250 stipend from Keep Las Cruces Beautiful.
Those wishing to participate should be willing to commit to a minimum of two hours. The group can choose its own project or one can be assigned.

Forward to the Moon Camp 🚀 Las Cruces Public Schools
The Challenger Learning Center of Las Cruces offered 6-day camps during the 2022-23 school year.

April is Recycle Month and April 22nd is Earth Day.
Less than 14% of the 86 million tons of plastics produced annually are actually recycled. Therefore, we are leaving 73.97 million tons of plastic to pollute our environment and overflow our landfills each year. We Can Do Better!
Here are some tips to recycle:
• Avoid single-use plastic items; instead utilize glass or paper
• Glass products can be reused
• Paper products are much friendlier for the environment
