🎨 Color Theory in Action! 🎨
Our students have been busy creating some truly beautiful art in class! For this project, they began by painting two separate sheets , one using cool colors and the other using warm colors. 🌬️🔥
In our next lesson, they took things a step further by interweaving the two painted sheets. The result? A vibrant, textured design that shows off their creativity and their understanding of color contrast. 🌈✨
We’re so proud of their hard work and the stunning pieces they created! 💛💙

🎃 Pumpkin Fun in First Grade! 🎃
Our first graders had an exciting hands-on science activity. They “dissected” a pumpkin! 🧡 They explored the inside, scooped out the guts, counted and played with the seeds, painted pumpkins and even got to enjoy a taste of delicious pumpkin pie at the end! 🥧✨
Learning can be messy, fun, and oh-so-yummy! 🍂

📍 Look for collection boxes at every APS school and locations throughout the community.

🎯 Goal: Warm feet, full hearts, and a stronger, more connected community.
Let’s make this the coziest and kindest Socktober yet! 🧦💛

We know that many families in our community are feeling the impact of the federal government shutdown. Alamogordo is home to a large number of federally connected families, including those serving and working at Holloman Air Force Base, and we understand that furloughs and delayed paychecks can cause significant stress.
Alamogordo Public Schools cares deeply about our students, families, and community, and we want to ensure that everyone has access to the support and resources they need during this time.
✨Here are some of the resources available to help:
🍎APS Mobile Food Pantry: Our next Mobile Food Pantry will be held on Wednesday, November 5th, at 2:30 pm at the Riner Steinhoff Soccer Complex on First Street. It is open to all APS families. (First Wednesday of each month)
💗Tiger Care Center: The Tiger Care Center provides hygiene items, clothing, and emergency food support assistance to students who qualify. For families who may not meet the qualifications, our staff can help connect you with other local resources.
