🚲💙 What a WHEEL-y Great Way to Start the Day! 💙🚲
We had an amazing turnout for our FIRST Bike to School event from Patrick Smith Park! 🎉 Led by the wonderful Mrs. Montoya and Ms. H, more than 20 students and parents hopped on their bikes and rode together to show off their Acequia Madre pride! 💙

There’s nothing better than starting the morning with fresh air, smiling faces, a little exercise, and our school community rolling in together! 🚴‍♀️🚴‍♂️✨

A HUGE thank you to all of the students, parents, and families who joined us and helped make our first ride such a success. We loved seeing our Matadors on the move! 💙🐂

Way to roll, Acequia Madre! 🚲💨

Santa Fe Public Schools continues to monitor air quality during wildfire smoke events and other air quality alerts to help protect the health and safety of students and staff.

SFPS uses AirNow.gov as its primary source for Air Quality Index (AQI) information while also considering conditions at individual school sites, as air quality can vary across the district.

Principals may move recess, physical education classes, and other outdoor activities indoors at any time based on conditions at their school. Schools do not need to wait for a districtwide directive to make adjustments when conditions warrant.

SFPS will continue to monitor air quality and make decisions with the health and safety of students and staff as our priority.

Update on Our Water Donation Drive

Thank you so much to everyone who was ready to come together and support our first responders, workers, and families affected by the Frijoles Fire. Your kindness, generosity, and willingness to help our community means so much to us. ❤️

We have received word that additional water supplies are not needed at this time. Because of this, we will not be accepting water donations today, Thursday, August 20th.

We are incredibly grateful to everyone who shared our message, planned to donate, and helped spread the word. It is a beautiful reminder of how caring and generous our community is when our neighbors need us.

Thank you for understanding and, most of all, thank you for your kindness and support. ❤️🙏
