Attention LCPS families! Our friends at Casa de Peregrinos want to help families in need this holiday season, just in time for Thanksgiving.
Casa de Peregrinos teamed up with LCPS to distribute 150 turkeys and sides to families who can use the support!
Boxes filled with turkey, corn, green beans, potatoes and stuffing will be distributed to families at the LCPS Operations Complex, located at 2101 Tashiro Road at 1:30p.m. Meals will be distributed on first come, first serve basis!
Dear Friends of Las Cruces Public Schools,
Together we can help make the season bright by sponsoring an LCPS student in the Migrant Education Program. With your support, we can make this holiday a truly special one for them.
A Star Tree has been set up in the front lobby of the Dr. Karen M. Trujillo Administration Complex, 505 S. Main, Suite 249. The tree has star ornaments with the names of students along with their clothing sizes and Christmas wish.
If you would like to participate, please select a star(s) and bring it to the front desk receptionist, Melinda Sanchez, or to the Federal Programs Department to register your star(s). Gifts will need to be wrapped and returned to the Federal Programs Department by 5:00p.m., Thursday, December 5, 2024.
We appreciate your interest and support in participating in the 2024 Migrant Education “Wish Upon a Star” gift-giving project.
