Today, New Mexico Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham joined students at Monte Vista Elementary to celebrate history in the making with the signing of SB188.
Students from Monte Vista worked with New Mexico State Senator Bill Soules who helped sponsor the bill after he was inspired by a presentation they led to adopt the smell of roasting green chile in the fall as New Mexico's official aroma.
Today, SB 188 was signed into law by Governor Grisham, making New Mexico the first state in the Union to have an official aroma.
Attention parents and athletes: With high winds expected on Thursday, March 30, and concern for bus travel and athlete safety, District 3-5A has come to a consensus to move all of Thursday games to Wednesday, March 29. Game times will remain as scheduled.
