Thrive Thursday This week, we’re excited to spotlight Breanna Santome, the Family and Community Outreach Facilitator for the LCPS Bilingual Community Outreach team! Breanna has been instrumental in supporting LCPS families, building strong bridges between the district and community partners to sponsor food drives, hygiene drives, and more. She's known for her creative, outside-the-box thinking and tireless dedication to making a difference. Through her leadership, LCPS partners with organizations like Roadrunner Food Bank of New Mexico, Walmart (Walton & Valley), Albertsons, Sprouts, Tresco Inc., Fiesta Foods, Las Cruces First, and SaveMart just to name a few. Today LCPS hosted its first drive-thru food distribution event at Central Office in partnership with Roadrunner Food Bank, an initiative Breanna helped bring to life! Starting today, these events will take place every first Thursday of the month at the LCPS Family Support Center (9:30 AM until supplies last). Thank you, Breanna, for keeping our students and their families at the heart of everything you do. Your work inspires us all. #ThriveThursday #LCPSCommunity #FamilySupport #StrongerTogether

🌟 Thrive Thursday Spotlight 🌟 This week, we’re proud to celebrate Jesse Allred, a phenomenal Language Arts teacher at Las Cruces High School! Mr. Allred is not only a fantastic educator in the classroom, where he fosters independent thinking and a love for learning, but also a dedicated advocate for his colleagues as the site NEA representative. He goes above and beyond to support staff at LCHS and across the district, always leading with a student-first mindset and a commitment to positive, solution-focused collaboration. His students recognize his impact too, nominating him for LCHS Teacher of the Year and praising his encouragement of their growth as independent thinkers. Thank you, Mr. Allred, for all you do to help our students and staff thrive. Your leadership, passion, and dedication make a lasting difference!

We can’t wait to celebrate our amazing spring state champions in Activities, Arts, and Athletics next week at the LCPS Ceremony of Champions!
