Intermediate (4-5)

Congratulations to Sophia and Amelia Rose from Ms. April's class!🤩

"I am excited to share that two of my students won 2nd and 3rd place in the Acequia Association of New Mexico Art Contest. The theme was, "Show us what acequia culture means to YOU!"

As part of our 4th-grade New Mexico Social Studies and NGSS/NM (cross-curricular) standards, we explored and modeled many New Mexico landforms and water sources. The timing of the contest was perfect, and some of my students were excited to share their connection to what we were learning!

"Their images were displayed alongside all entries at the NM State Capitol during Treaty and Acequia Day, February 2, 2026."

I'm very proud of their insight into our culture and the importance of our water sources in New Mexico and what it all means to our communities and farmers!" -- April Grant-Torrez, 4th Grade Teacher
