This week our Spanish Dual Language students from McCormick Elementary School and Esperanza Elementary School visited San Juan College for the production of "Coyote and the Counting Game." This outstanding musical uses both English and Spanish to tell the rich story of a young girl who learns a valuable lesson in honesty. Students were encouraged to laugh, dance, and even participate in this engaging performance. It was an amazing way to celebrate #HispanicHeritageMonth2024. Thank you to Creede Repertory Theatre for putting on this amazing show and also giving each student a "Coyote and the Counting Game" book!
We kicked off our Saturday morning (09.21.2024) with the incredible FHS Scorpion Sound Regiment, who brought the joy of music right to our doorsteps! Their Annual March A-Thon was a hit as they marched through our neighborhoods, filling the streets with music and fun. A huge shoutout to our amazing instructors, dedicated families, and our community for supporting these talented students and cheering them on! And of course, congratulations to the Scorpion Sound Regiment for their amazing performance—you sounded fantastic! It’s not too late to get involved! You can still donate to our students or even become a corporate sponsor and have your brand featured at our performances. 👉 Donate here: https://schoolpay.com/pay/for/Farmington-High-School-Band/SbEp2du. 👉 For sponsorship opportunities, reach out to Mr. Olivas at aolivas@fms.k12.nm.us.
