The City of Santa Fe Presents it's Summer Reading Program! Don't miss out!
Registration Opens May 25 - Please see the attached flyer for more information!
The Santa Fe Public Library is excited to invite toddlers, children, and youth up to 17 years of age to participate in “All Together Now,” their 2023 Summer Reading Program! Registration opens on Thursday, May 25, and the program will run through June and July.
Children may read independently or be read to by adults and older children. Reading library books, personal books, e-books, and listening to audiobooks all count toward earning prizes. Reading minutes can be tracked by hand or via the Library’s Beanstack portal, which allows participants to log minutes and earn digital badges throughout the program.
The Library will hold a variety of programs and events related to Summer Reading over the upcoming months. Visit the Library’s website or any Library location to learn more and sign up when registration opens!
All Together Now is sponsored by the Friends of the Santa Fe Public Library and the New Mexico State Library.
Congratulations to our Mimi Hatch Scholarship winners!
The Mimi Hatch Memorial Scholarship is annually awarded to seniors who demonstrate superior academic achievement throughout their educational careers. This award was created in memory of Mimi Hatch who was an inspirational educator in the Santa Fe community. She advocated for young people to motivate themselves to strive for excellence in the face of hardship.
The Santa Fe Public Schools Adelante Program is offering $1,500.00 and a new laptop through the Mimi Hatch Memorial Scholarship to 6 high school students who have been accepted and are attending a vocational program or two or four-year college/university beginning the fall semester of 2023. Seven hundred fifty dollars will be applied to each semester.
Thanks to the sponsorship of the Embassy of Spain via the Instituto Cervantes, our Ortiz Middle School students had the opportunity to showcase their Spanish writing skills.
We are thrilled to announce that Fernanda Ruiz, an eighth-grader at Ortiz, won 3rd place in the competition! The award ceremony was held on April 5th, 2023, at the National Hispanic Cultural Center.
We are incredibly proud of Fernanda and all of our students who participated in this event!
Last night's Board of Education meeting was a big one! Not only was the budget approved, but we also honored our New Mexico School Board Association "Excellence in Student Achievement" award winners and our Student Board Members!
Congratulations to the winners of the New Mexico School Board Association Excellence in Student Achievement Award! Your efforts have really made a difference in the lives of your students and the community, and you should be incredibly proud of what you have accomplished!
We also want to express our heartfelt gratitude to the Student Board Members for their unwavering dedication and commitment to improving our schools. Your insights, perspectives, and contributions have been invaluable, and we appreciate all that you do to make a positive difference in our schools.
Multiple school districts throughout the state have received social media threats against schools. SFPS and SFPD are taking precautionary measures to ensure the safety at our schools. The City of Santa Fe and SFPD are working directly with the FBI on the threat, which appears to be a hoax. There is no immediate threat towards any SFPS school.
