Today we celebrate Veterans Day, honoring all who have served in our country’s military. A special thank you to Mr. Route and Mr. Garza for their service in the U.S. Armed Forces, your dedication inspires us all. At this time, please rise for the National Anthem, sung by 7th grader Emily Balderas. 

In celebration of Native American Heritage Month, we recognize Deb Haaland, the first Native American to serve as a cabinet secretary, serving from 2021-25.  Also, she was one of the first two Native American women elected to Congress in 2018.  Her parents were both in the military and she attended 13 different public schools before settling in New Mexico.   Former Secretary Haaland is now running for Governor of New Mexico.
