Community Partnerships – Las Cruces Public Schools Foundation

COMMUNITY PARTNERSHPS

Century Bank has supported LCPS Foundation through decades of Celebration of Excellence Dinner Sponsorships. Their sustained giving has allowed the LCPS Foundation to support the LCPS District in recognizing the Teacher of the Year and Support Staff Member of the Year.

The sole purpose of the Las Cruces Public School Foundation is to support and enhance the educational experience of students, promote innovation in the classroom, increase involvement in education and pursue and recognize excellence in teaching and learning in the Las Cruces Public Schools. The Foundation has done so since it’s inception in 1998. The Board of Directors is honored to have District Personnel serve both as voting and ex-officio members.

The Nusenda Foundation awarded the LCPS Foundation a $7,500 grant through their Community Rewards Program in the fall of 2021. Thank you Nusenda!

The Nusenda Foundation’s mission is to create stronger communities where their members live and work through collaborative partnership and by investing in innovative solutions to improve education, health, social and economic outcomes. The LCPS Foundation will assist in achieving their vision by providing their granted funds for Off-Cycle Grants (spring semester of the 2021 – 2022 school year). This will allow for Las Cruces Public School Teachers and Administrators to apply for monies to be used for Innovative Classroom Teaching Projects and other initiatives.

Mountain View Regional Medical Center supports LCPS Foundation through sponsorship of our Celebration of Excellence Dinner Sponsorships.

I want to thank you for the mini grant of $100 for Alpha Teacher Tools store. As a second year teacher, I have limited resources. With the money from the grant, I was able to buy resources that are going to help me and my students greatly.

First, thank you for supporting my classroom! For being a first year teacher it has been difficult to get the supplies I need. By your generous donation I was able to get a much needed easel for my students and I to use for writing. I could not be more thankful for the opportunity and donation

Thank you so very much! I let all of the teachers know and they are all so excited! We all can use some teaching supplies and this is just perfect! Wow - please express our sincere appreciation to the foundation board for being so generous! What a blessing at this time of the year!

"The success of our students can be measured by the relationships they build while they are in school. The teachers who influence them, the friendships they make - these all have a fundamental impact on the contributions they will make in our world as adults. Support for those teachers and students often comes from the efforts of the Las Cruces Public Schools Foundation. Their investment in our classrooms is something that will benefit our communities for generations to come."

I am so thankful to receive this grant. The microscopes have been great! My students love to pull them out and look at everything -- leaves and bugs and even fingernails! They love being able to see what they can’t normally see.
