RISD officials build on construction projects

By Alison Penn Roswell Daily Record

Construction on Del Norte Elementary School remains at the forefront of Roswell Independent School District efforts for this year, with other projects in the design or planning phases. RISD Construction Coordinator Mac Rogers and Chad Cole, assistant superintendent of finance and operations, informed the Daily Record that construction on Del Norte was on schedule and four concrete slabs will be poured within the next two weeks by Waide Construction, a local contractor that has worked on other RISD schools previously. “We’re really excited about that project,” Rogers said of Del Norte. “It’ll be great for the community.” With school starting on Aug. 7, students of Del Norte will continue to learn in the existing structure at 2701 N. Garden Ave. and remain there until spring of next year. Rogers said demolition of that structure should begin late next summer or early fall, while students are absent. The goal is to have the new two-story building facing East La Paloma Lane ready for students by next August. Rogers said the construction site is fenced to separate the work from the school and the playground. Saying there are “two essential phases” of construction, Rogers said completing the new building, with the pick-up and dropoff area, is the first phase and the additional onsite work, such as the playground and landscaping, is estimated to be completed by November 2020. Rogers said the concrete will be poured for the first floor next week and the

next bond election cycle four years from now. Roswell High School’s athletic complex was also completed in May and work began in 2017, Rogers said. RISD Athletic Director Britt Cooper said those fields are ready for practice usage for various sports — but not games yet — in the upcoming school year. For some smaller projects, Rogers said the turf and track are being replaced at the Wool Bowl stadium on North Grand Avenue. According to Rogers, new Pre-K playground equipment was also added to the following elementary schools: Valley View, Sunset, Military Heights, Washington Avenue and Missouri Avenue. The spring windstorm in March damaged the Alison Penn Photo gym roof at Sierra Middle School at 615 S.

School resource officers talk school security

By Alex Ross Roswell Daily Record

School was a far different place when Roswell Police Sgt. Jerry Hart was growing up. Back in the early 1990s, Hart was in high school in Fort Sumner, where security was not a big issue. “I don’t even know, a matter of fact, I am sure that none of the doors at the school were even locked when I went to school,” said Hart, who leads the school resource officer program within the Roswell Independent School District. Officer Trong Nguyen, who is one of RISD’s three school resource officers, said back when he was in school, he also remembered that there were fewer locked doors, and teachers used to routinely leave the doors to their classrooms open. Both Hart and Nguyen are now two of the three school resource officers

within RISD. They said the school environment and the emphasis on securing schools have changed. So far in 2019, there were 14 school shootings that resulted in deaths or injuries at K-12 schools throughout the United States, according to a July 25 article in Ed Week magazine. In June, Nguyen, Hart and RISD’s third school resource officer, Laura Macias, attended the National Association of School Resource Officers School Safety Conference in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee. L.J. Harrell, a former training officer with the Roswell Police Department who now works as the school safety liaison for RISD, also attended. In all, some 22,000 people, including school resource officers and school administrators throughout the country were at the conference. Hart said that a vari-

ety of products meant to enhance school safety were on display, ranging from software for managing lists of visitors to devices meant to enhance school safety and head off problems that can lay the groundwork for conflict. Classes were offered at the convention on grants available to increase safety at schools and how to establish relationships between law enforcement and school administrators. Classes were also offered on topics such as online bullying and social media. “It was great and it was eye-opening,” Hart said. “There was a lot of information.” He said from talking with school resource officers at the conference that school districts across the country have similar concerns about security. “It’s nationwide. So New Mexico is no bet-

NMMI plans major renovations, return to Wool Bowl

By Lisa Dunlap Roswell Daily Record

Several construction projects and the Broncos football team’s return to the Wool Bowl constitute some of the significant happenings for the 2019-20 academic year at the New Mexico Military Institute. The Institute is one of three “special” schools established by the New Mexico Constitution, along with some higher education institutions. The other special schools serve blind and deaf students. NMMI receives a great deal of its annual funding from the New Mexico Land Grant Permanent Fund and is overseen by a governor-appointed Board of Regents and the New Mexico Higher Education Department. This year, the Institute is down a bit in applications and enrollment, said Col. David West, chief of staff, but the school still expects to have somewhere around 917 cadets, which is the nine-year average for enrollment and puts it at 95% of capacity. “We had one of our highest re-enrollments ever,” he said. “We had our highest senior class re-enrollment, over 50%.” Typically every year, half of the cadets are high school students, while the other half are in their first two years of college. About 22% of the student body are women, which West said is a high percentage for military schools and academies. About 30% of cadets are from foreign countries, with 36 different nations represented in 2018. “You march with them every day. You live with them every day. You eat with them every day, so it is not like going to a big university where you have 50 different counties but you never see them all,” he said. Cadre leaders and athletes arrive on campus in late July, with new junior college students due Aug. 7

The New Mexico Military Institute plans a renovation this year of what basically serves as the student union building for NMMI: the JRT-VMV-Hinkle complex. and new high school cadets arriving by Aug. 8. Classes start Aug. 19. This year, the Broncos junior college football team will play their home games in the Wool Bowl, West said. “It is a return to the Wool Bowl for the first time in a number of the years,” he said. “The (Roswell Independent School District) is replacing the field, the turf, so it made it acceptable for the junior college opportunity.” The Broncos typically play Saturdays and will work out scheduling with the school district for use of the stadium on North Grand Avenue. The high school team, the Colts, will continue to play on the Colts Field on the Institute campus. The Institute plans to

begin work this academic year on two major renovation projects, with regents recently granting approval for expenditures of the funds, which are from general obligation bonds approved by voters in 2018. One involves the $3.7 million renovation of a complex of three buildings commonly referred to as the JRT-VMV Building. West said the J. Ross Thomas Memorial Building-Vertress, Moore and Vlahopoulas Building-Hinkle Hall serves as the campus student union, with such areas as mailboxes, a laundry, a ballroom, game rooms and

cantina area. “The single biggest thing in that building is a bowling alley,” he said, “which I am told is like two to three generations old. (There will be a) new bowling alley for cadets, seven-lane bowling alley.” Phase I of $4.5 million renovations for the bathrooms, or “sink rooms,” in the dormitories is also scheduled to begin. At this point, the Institute is working with architects on the development of a common design developed for all 35 bathrooms. Renovations will involve a few bathrooms at a time spread out among

dormitories during the academic year to keep disruptions down. In addition, regents recently approved a $6.8 million energy performance contract to upgrade the electrical system throughout the campus and to replace current lighting with more energy-efficient LED lighting. The contractor guarantees that the Institute will recover the costs of the contract through its savings on utility costs. The contract must be approved by the state before the 18-month project can begin. The $17.3 million Cahoon Armory or Cahoon Hall ren-

ovation, “a wall-to-wall gut job,” is likely to begin summer 2020. The building is the school’s primary gymnasium and also houses weight rooms, locker rooms, some offices and classrooms. The plan is to fund that by the issuance of $5.8 million in private bonds, as well as some capital reserve money and some state bond funds. That project is also on hold until state approval is received for an increased construction budget. Senior Writer Lisa Dunlap can be reached at 575-6227710, ext. 311, or at reporter02@rdrnews.com.

ROSWELL INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT ASBESTOS REINSPECTION SURVEY - ANNUAL NOTIFICATION TO PARENTS

According to requirements of the EPA Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response Act (AHERA 1987), the Board of Education completes mandatory re-inspections on a three year cycle. In addition, surveys are conducted every six months of all buildings within the District. In the past, asbestos was widely used in building construction. Accredited environmental inspectors visit the school your son/daughter attends to re-inspect the condition of Asbestos-Containing Building Material (ACBM) or materials assumed to contain asbestos and complete a reinspection survey. The asbestos management plan for your school is filed in the main office of the school and is accessible to parents and staff. You may review the current plan at the school at any time. Since AHERA was enacted, RISD has implemented an Operations and Maintenance Program to train maintenance personnel with proper handling and safe procedures for asbestos containing materials. As EPA has suggested, it is RISD policy to remove asbestos only when a damaged condition dictates, or maintenance remodeling or demolition is involved. In these instances, precautions are taken to ensure the safety of our staff and students. If you have any questions about the survey, please contact Sean Benedict at 627-2742.

ESTUDIO DE REINSPECCIÓN DE ASBESTOS – NOTIFICACIÓN ANUAL PARA PADRES DE ESTUDIANTES De acuerdo con los requisitos delineados por el Acuerdo Legislativo que Regula los Servicios de Urgencia de Contaminación de Asbesto de la Agencia Protectora del Medio Ambiente (AHERA 1987), la Junta de Educación hace reinspecciones obligatorias en ciclos de tres años. Además, se efectúan estudios de todos los edificios del distrito escolar cada seis meses. En años anteriores, materiales que contenían asbesto fueron usados extensivamente en la construcción de edificios. Inspectores medioambientales autorizados visitan la escuela a la que asisten sus niños para reinspeccionar las condiciones del material que contiene o que podría contener asbesto y efectúan un estudio de reinspección. El plan vigente de control de asbesto de su escuela está archivado en la oficina de la escuela y es accesible a los padres de familia y el personal docente y administrativo. Pueden ustedes revisar el plan en la escuela en cualquier momento. Desde que el acuerdo AHERA fue promulgado, RISD (Escuelas Públicas de Roswell) ha puesto en efecto un Programa de Operaciones y Mantenimiento para capacitar al personal de mantenimiento en procedimientos de seguridad y manejo apropiado de materiales que contienen asbesto. Como lo ha sugerido la EPA (Agencia Protectora del Medio Ambiente), la responsabilidad de APS es eliminar el asbesto solamente cuando la naturaleza del daño lo amerite, o cuando el proceso de mantenimiento requiera remodelación o demolición; en dichos casos, se toman precauciones para resguardar la seguridad del personal docente y administrativo y de los estudiantes. Si tienen ustedes alguna pregunta con respecto al estudio de reinspección, por favor comuníquense con Sean Benedict al 627-2742.

Roswell embraces the arts

Education in arts might nurture next Robert H. Goddard

By Christina Stock Roswell Daily Record Art — the word alone speaks of culture, of identifying with one’s culture and learning about the history of humans on Earth. Today, it is difficult to understand that the U.S. wanted it removed from the curriculum of school children. For one reason or another, in the late 1990s and early 2000s, schools started neglecting the arts stating fiscal reasons. In some states and districts, the arts were cut completely to be replaced with science and sports classes. This changed when more and more researchers provided proof that there is a direct connection between a well-developed adult brain and a child’s involvement in the arts and creativity. Mariale Hardiman, vice dean of academic affairs at the Johns Hopkins School of Education and director of Johns Hopkins’ Neuro-Education Initiative, released this year new information that covers how technology can support equitable opportunities for all students. Hardiman sees a connection between children who fall behind in education, encountering stress because of poverty, and sees that the arts could help in closing this education gap. Neuroscience research is revealing the impressive impact of arts instruction on students’ cognitive, social and emotional development. While STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) programs thrived in the 2000s, today, STEM has evolved into STEAM, adding the arts as a core foundation that belongs to the other four disciplines. Roswell and New Mexico were heavily influenced by the arts. Peter Hurd, Henriette Wyeth, Georgette O’Keefe and Luis Jiménez come to mind as famous New Mexico artists. Long before scientists could prove the connection

At Family After Hours at the Roswell Museum and Art Center — a collaboration between the Roswell Independent School District’s Arts Connect program and RMAC — children are seen with friends and parents, learning to weave as part of the unique art experience in May. between creative activities of a child and a well-developed adult brain, the man who laid the basis for Apollo II success in reaching the moon — rocket scientist Robert H. Goddard (18821945) — was seen often outside of his home in Roswell painting the high desert landscapes. Other scientists and inventors who were artists are: Samuel Morse — while he was known as painter in his lifetime, he is known today for being the inventor of the Morse code. Leonardo da Vinci created a plethora of scientific studies, inventions and paintings. His art fed his imagination to reach for the impossible, such as the first plane, the first submarine and to understand how nature works. Maria Sibylla Merian came from a family of

artists and started out as one as well. She charted the course for modern ecology. This knowledge may have influenced art teachers of the Roswell Independent School District and its governing board to disregard the trend that took place throughout the nation. RISD’s Arts Connect program started in 2003 under the guidance of educator Elaine Howe and four teachers, to lead a fine arts experience for students in grades K-5. The State of New Mexico followed in 2004 when New Mexico passed the law that earmarked $4 million to help create elementary school arts programs in dance, music, theater and visual arts. Since then, RISD’s Arts Connect program, housed at the Creative Learning

Center, continued growing. In 2015, the federal Elementary and Secondary Education Act was reauthorized by the U.S. Congress and was given a new name: The Every Student Succeeds Act. New Mexico was one of the first states to receive approval for its ESSA plan in the summer of 2017. New resources and potential opportunities for students exist through ESSA and other avenues, calling for the review and expansion of arts education in New Mexico. According to the New Mexico Public Education Department’s elementary arts funding, the Fine Arts Education Act continues in New Mexico, with deadlines for the schools to apply being in May of each year. In spring 2017, New Mex-

Tips for grabbing the best deals on school clothes Metro Creative Services Apparel is a large part of back-to-school shopping. Many parents find they need to outfit their kids with a new wardrobes each year. Jeans and leggings that fit like a glove in June may only reach mid-calf by Labor Day. To make the shopping process less harried and more productive, parents can employ these strategies.

Take inventory

Go through kids’ wardrobes and see what can be salvaged and what might need to go. This is the perfect opportunity to

put aside gently used, outgrown items that may be passed on to someone else who can use them. Be sure to make a list of any items that the school requires, particularly in regard to uniforms or dress codes. By knowing what’s in stock in the closet, you’ll have a clear idea of what you need to buy.

Tax-free discounts

Some states or cities offer tax-free or discount shopping incentives, which can add up to considerable savings. It may be well worth the effort to stock up on necessities during these times.

Loyalty programs

If yours is a child who prefers certain brands, sign up early in the year for such brands’ loyalty clubs. For example, the popular retailer Hollister has Club Cali that, with each purchase, grants points toward discounts. Plus, you may be privy to sale advertisements before the general public.

Get enough to get by

While certain clothing sales happen between July and August, oftentimes the real savings begin in October, according to the budgeting resource Money Crashers.

Wait until that time to buy the bulk of kids’ school clothes. After all, the first weeks of school are usually warm, and summer clothing will still suffice with a few new items thrown in to freshen up wardrobes.

Quality shoes

Sneakers and other shoes can be expensive. However, investing in quality brands can help you avoid having to buy shoes frequently. Watch for shoe sales and stock up on coupons. Many stores offer “buy-one, getone half off” during the back-to-school season.

ico Arts, a division of the New Mexico Department of Cultural Affairs, contracted with New Mexico First to gather key information on arts education in the state. The New Mexico Fine Arts Education Act (FAEA) provides for arts education for elementary students; however, arts education for middle and high school grades are not statutorily regulated. Today, 12 teachers serve close to 5,700 children enrolled in schools that are part of RISD. They bring visual and performing arts lessons to all K-5 students. Special arts experiences are planned throughout the school year for 6th graders. Earlier this year, school classes were brought to La Rinconada Gallery in San Patricio, the former home of famous painters Hurd

(1904-1984) and his wife Wyeth (1907-1997). The children were greeted by Hurd’s son, Michael Hurd, and learned how to paint en plein air (outdoors), just as the masters had done. Arts Connect principal Abie Smith said in an earlier interview about the children, “Everyone is artistic. That’s our vision, that we are cultivating that creative spirit in all students because everyone has it. We don’t create it for them, but we want to cultivate and build it. That’s our job in going in, helping them find it — maybe they like sculpture more than they like doing tableaus? Maybe they like playing the recorder more than they like painting? You can see it in their joy that they have in creating it, in their conversations that they have while collaborating. The kindergarten students explain why they are using a certain color, the story and connection behind it. That’s our joy. We get to see them grow.” The early project of Arts Connect, Celebrate the Arts Day — where children could show what they learned over the year — changed this year. A new collaboration took place. The Creative Learning Center and the Roswell Museum and Art Center had, in May, its first Family After Hours event. The public, the students, family and friends were invited to create art in the midst of famous artists’ exhibitions throughout the RMAC. Instead of volunteers leading the activities, the RISD visual art teachers were working with the kids and adults. The RMAC Foundation sponsored the event in part. The theme was Celebrate your State and was inspired by the museum’s collections. “We had a total of 570 in attendance at our event,” Smith said. “It worked out brilliantly to collaborate with RMAC.” “A big part of a community-owned museum is that

Benefits of Newspapers in Education

very school year, the Roswell Daily Record and the Roswell Independent School District collaborate on Newspapers in Education to use the newspaper as a tool for instruction in area classrooms. As the school year starts, so does the RDR NIE program. The newspaper provides copies to the schools, free of charge, for use in any classroom. There is no charge to any school for using the newspapers. Currently, the program is mostly funded through the Roswell Daily Record and we are always looking for sponsors for the program. Students use our newspaper as a meaningful resource for learning. The NIE program varies according to the needs of our educational community and how it is used in the classrooms. It is a very flexible program. A middle school classroom might use the newspaper in a math class calculating percentages while an elementary classroom might use NIE newspapers for a social studies project, exploring the history of Roswell and Chaves County through one of our many articles on the topic. Our newspaper is used as an instructional tool in many subjects and grade levels in elementary, middle or high school settings around town with both public and private education. Typically, most teachers use NIE with a focus on language arts, reading, social studies, math and science. The goal of our NIE program is to use the newspaper to help teachers with the subjects they are already teaching. It is not intended to simply teach about the newspaper, although it can be used for that also. A good NIE program helps teachers learn to develop their own activities using the newspaper to teach in any classroom. NIE programs offer many benefits. NIE builds readership and reading skills as a result of sending newspapers to the school. Several studies have shown that children and/or adults who regularly read a newspaper demonstrate significant gains in reading skills. A study conducted by the NAA Foundation showed that students who use newspapers might score significantly higher on standardized tests than students who do not read the newspaper. Newspaper advertisers also love it when a shopper tells them they saw their product in a newspaper advertisement. Our community appreciates those who show an interest in the education, health and safety of their children. NIE can help children in all of those areas. There is no substitute for a newspaper. Televi-

sion, radio and the internet can give the news quickly. Understanding the news usually comes, however, with the longer, more thoughtful appraisal of facts and details found only in newspapers. Younger readers quickly learn that a newspaper is more than news. It is feature articles that tell them of interesting people and activities in the community as well. NIE also builds community goodwill. The positive benefits for our newspaper: To help improve local education. By placing our newspaper in classrooms, we are giving teachers the opportunity to use the most up-to-date textbook on the market. The closer to home a story is, the more motivation there is to read that story. A student in Roswell is more apt to find his or her name in the Roswell Daily Record than in a larger regional daily newspaper. Our newspaper covers our students’ community, not the whole world. Community news is important to the functioning of our democracy because most citizen involvement occurs at the local level. The community newspaper is geographically closer to its reading audience and it is also easily accessible for plant tours by students because we have our own printing facility and always have, since before the turn of the century. Not many newspapers have their own press anymore, as they are much harder to find. Tours of our newspaper facilities are a popular activity for Roswell students. Many students also enjoy NIE newspapers because they can relate to local sports coverage or might know someone who writes for our Millennial Voices teen column. Teachers, please send in photos of your children’s school events or photos of their volunteer efforts throughout the year to be spotlighted in the “Juniors and Seniors” section. There are also writing opportunities available for teens. NIE is a benefit to schools and the community. Please take the time to consider reading a newspaper and supporting NIE and students this school year. Barbara Beck is publisher of the Roswell Daily Record. She has a master’s degree in education, graduated with honors and taught for 11 years in elementary, middle school and community college.

you got to reach the community and provide opportunity for them,” Amanda Nicholson, curator of education at the RMAC said. “A big goal for us is always getting to the students and realizing how art affects their life. How it plays a part in their life. It’s great that we have such a participating community, we definitely have a community that likes to come out and participate and take advantage of these kinds of opportunities, which is great.” This first collaboration was so successful that RMAC and RISD Learning Center’s Arts Connect are planning to have the Family After Hours more often. The next Family After Hours will have the theme World of Color, and takes place Aug. 29 from 5 to 8 p.m. at RMAC. The museum will be filled once more with free hands-on art activities encouraging parents to partner with their children to create art while building memorable, shared experiences. A gallery talk about RMAC’s new exhibition, Coloring Inside the Lines, with Aubrey Hobart, curator of collections and exhibitions, takes place at 6 p.m. Art activities will include painting, collage and drawing under guidance of the RISD visual art teachers. On Aug. 9, Arts Connect principal Abie Smith will talk about the program during the Brown Bag Lunch Talk at the Roswell Museum and Art Center, 1011 N. Richardson Ave., from noon to 1 p.m. The RMAC is not the only body working with RISD’s Creative Learning Center Arts Connect. Every year, new Roswell Artist-in-Residence participants arrive in Roswell who were granted the year-long residence. It is surprising how many of those teach art in their home town. The individual RAiR members often volunteer to educate Roswell’s youngest students about their art. Then there is RMAC’s Studio Program, which offers adults, teens and children year-round classes and workshops in a variety of subjects including drawing, painting, photography, pottery, printmaking, mixed media and creative writing. Berrendo Middle School hosts every year its HeART of Winter exhibit where

Alethea Hartwell, sitting in the back, is one of the teachers at KAPS. students in all arts present their work to be judged. The children especially enjoy one part of the exhibit where the teachers have to create art within an hour to be judged by the children. The exhibit was started by Jeannette Main, who received last year the New Mexico Art Education Association Middle School Teacher Award. Who knows, the next Hurd, O’Keefe or scientist might be among this year’s students? Adding to the public school art programs — and supported by local businesses and individuals — are the private classes and non-profit organizations providing a wide range of art education. Way Way Off-Broadway Theatre Company has several educational programs for students of all ages. “Children learn respect and acceptance in theater,” WWOB theater president Summer Souza said in an earlier interview. Education was a big goal for the board of directors when WWOB was founded — most grew up in the theater and have children of their own. Their statement is that in a lot of ways, the theater is just as much a classroom as it is an entertainment venue. Performers and artists of all ages are inevitably changed

when they are involved in theater, and the lessons they learn along the way are valuable both in future theater endeavors as well as everyday life. WWOB wants to offer an environment that grows and encourages artistic skills through music, dance and theater, so that the children are better prepared for higher-level studies and successful careers later in life. One of the WWOB programs is Broadway Bound Littles. BBL students are the youngest performers, ages 4 to 6. A program designed to introduce younger children to the joy of musical theater. BBL students will work with WWOB directors and performers throughout the semester, developing their singing, dancing and acting skills. WWOB’s Broadway Bound Kids program is a semester-long program for older children ages 7 through 17. A full theater youth performance — usually a musical such as this year’s “Newsies” — ends the semester in summer. The children learn not only how to be actors, but are in charge of the entire production. Out of this came this year’s first WWOB class for budding playwrights. The eight-week semes-

ter was taught by actor and author Kyle Bullock. Highlighting his students, on July 20, the public was invited to the first Southeast New Mexico Playwright Festival, where five of the plays came to life on stage. Roswell’s Kids’ Arts ProgramS (KAPS) was envisioned back in 2007 by members of First Presbyterian Church, who wanted to provide arts to the youth of Roswell. Starting with a choir and orchestra, KAPS began to grow more in 2010 by adding a theatre program. Since then, KAPS has continued to focus on the youth of Roswell and provides opportunities for them to experience the performing arts. KAPS’ ultimate goal is to make many more art forms available. Currently they have a thriving theater program and the visual art program will have its second semester in the fall. There are several private dance schools in town as well. Local galleries have regular classes where kids can learn to paint with professional artists teaching them. For more photos of kids in arts, see Page C10.

Private schools offer religious instruction and academics

By Lisa Dunlap Senior Writer

Roswell has only a few private schools, but their enrollment is steadily growing. While about 10,500 of Roswell’s school-age youth attend the district’s public schools, another 480 or so are enrolled in private schools offering kindergarten, elementary, junior high and high school programs. (See separate story for information about New Mexico Military Institute, one of three state-funded “special” schools established by the state constitution.) In this city, the K12 private schools have religious affiliations and include All Saints Catholic School, Gateway Christian School and Immanuel Lutheran School. Numerous calls to Lighthouse Academy, a school with a Pentecostal affiliation that has had about a dozen students in previous years, were not answered. Private schools can play a significant role in a community’s educational structure, said Dr. John Foreman, state director for the New Mexico Non-Public Schools Association. “We think parents should have choices and options in education, and we are supportive of school choice and those sorts of initiatives,” he said. He added that the schools often can provide strong academics. “Each year there are about 90 to 95 qualifiers in New Mexico for National Merit (Scholarships), and each year about two-thirds of those come from private schooling or home-schooling,” he said. In addition to offering religious instruction, school leaders said that the local private institutions also can provide small classes and a “family”

Pastor Rick Rapp heads Gateway Christian School, the largest and oldest of the local private schools. Founded in 1981, the school on North Sycamore Avenue now enrolls more than 340 students a year in its pre-kindergarten through 12th grade programs taught by about 35 teachers. Its school year starts Aug. 12 for junior high and high school students and Aug. 14 for younger youth. “What our philosophy is, we are wanting to teach our students when they graduate to have a solid Biblical background and to have a Christian worldview, and then be able to do whatever God has called them to do,” Rapp said. The school is accredited by the Association of Christian Schools International,

having gone through its five-year review in April, and has athletic programs that compete as part of the New Mexico Athletic Association. The high school program is a college-prep program, he said, that each year sees the majority of its high school graduates go on to college and receive substantial scholarships. The school intends to build a new junior high and high school building in the coming years, as those programs now are held in the basement of Gateway church, located on the same campus. He said the school just completed a new science lab and classroom building last year, and has grown to a point where it offers two classes for each age group up to the seventh grade. Immanuel Lutheran School, which is offering a ninth-grade program for the first time, is only a few

blocks to the north on Sycamore Avenue and College Boulevard. The “Lutheran classical” school staffed by instructors trained in Lutheran methodologies teaches pre-kindergarten to ninthgrade students and has a capacity for 80 students, with current enrollment for 2019-20 of 62, said school administrator and pastor Steven Cholak. Its school year starts Aug. 15. It started in 2006 as a home-school cooperative, where students met at school a few days a week and otherwise studied at home with parents. “About five years ago, we flipped that to three days here and two days at home. And then four years ago, we did a full five-day program, so we are just slowly growing and establishing ourselves,” Cholak said. He said the school intends to continue grow-

ing its high school, adding 10th grade next year and 11th and 12th grades in future years. “Over the next four years, we will fill out our high school,” Cholak said. In addition to regular Bible study and daily chapel, the school offers math, science and art instruction. It also offers “renaissance Fridays,” a hands-on educational experience where students apply what they are learning by visiting the Roswell Public Library, the Robert H. Goddard Planetarium, the city’s three museums, nursing or other care centers, Bottomless Lakes State Park and Bitter Lake National Wildlife Refuge. He said the education is designed to progress the individual from memory and knowledge acquisition, to logical analysis, to creative, authoritative and self-actualized activity.

The ultimate aim, he said, is to develop students “to be confident, active, loving members of society and citizens of the United States.” All Saints Catholic School on North Kentucky Avenue serves pre-school to eighth grade of all religions and backgrounds with a curriculum based on Christian teachings as well as Seton curriculum for religion and language arts and Saxon curriculum for mathematics. The preschool program is taught using Montessori techniques. School officials were not available for comment by press time, but its enrollment is listed at 81 on a website about private schools. Its own website indicates it had about 109 students in 2006. A school brochure indicates that All Saints is currently seeking accreditation from the Western Catholic Education Association. The school started in 2002 with about 52 students, as one of the founding teachers worked with parents and the leaders of the local Assumption Catholic Church to start a nursery school and pre-school. All Saints has grown over the years to allow for construction of a new school building for pre-school to fifth grade, with middle-school grades in nearby portables. The school building also includes a library and computer lab, and the grounds have athletic fields and playgrounds. The school intends to expand its sports teams as enrollment grows, according to school information. At the current time, it has cross-country and track teams that compete at meets with private and public schools.

Tax-free holiday this weekend

Submitted

New Mexico’s annual gross receipts tax holiday begins this Friday, Aug. 2 at 12:01 a.m. and continues through midnight on Sunday, Aug. 4. During that time, the state suspends collection of gross receipts taxes on a wide variety of retail merchandise, allowing back-to-school shoppers and others to purchase many items tax-free, according to a press release issued Monday by the state Taxation and Revenue Department. The Taxation and Revenue Department estimates that shoppers save about $4 million per year annually as a result of the annual tax-free holiday weekend. “This is a great opportunity to get some shopping done while making your hardearned dollars stretch

a little further, especially if you’re getting kids ready to go back to school,” said New Mexico Taxation and Revenue Department Secretary Stephanie Schardin Clarke. While there are restrictions as to what qualifies for the tax holiday, merchants often absorb the tax on some non-qualifying items. Among the merchandise not subject to tax this weekend are clothing and shoes priced at less than $100 per unit, computers priced under $1,000 and related computer hardware priced under $500, according to the press release. School supplies under $30 per unit for use in standard, general-education classrooms also will be taxfree for the weekend. More information can be found online at www.tax.newmexico. gov/tax-holiday.aspx.

ter or worse off than any other place in the United States,” Hart said. Hart said the hardening of security at schools ranging from public elementary to middle and high schools is unfortunate but is necessary. Nguyen said whatever the price or inconvenience, beefing up security at schools is certainly worth the cost. “I don’t think you can ever put a price on a child’s life, so it can never be too much when you are trying to protect kids,” Nguyen said. Incidents in recent years, such as a shooting at the Santa Fe High School in May 2018 and the Aztec School Shooting in 2017 by a former student, among others caused RISD to harden their school security. “Every school is getting upgrades to their security,” Hart said. All the public elementary, middle and high schools in the district have seen upgrades in their security that regulates who enters the school building. Main entrances at the school now have secure vestibules, with locked doors. Visitors now must talk to front desk staff before they are buzzed in. Security cameras are also commonplace, and people must be identified before being granted

Back to School access to school buildings. RISD has also changed the way they do training for school lockdowns. Rather than just locking down the school, RISD is now using ALICE active shooter response training. ALICE stands for Alert, Lockdown, Inform, Counter and Evacuation, Nguyen said. Training has also become more consistent from school to school. RISD in 2018 hired L.J. Harrell to be the district’s safe school liaison. Harrell is a former law enforcement trainer. The position was created using a federal grant the district had received. As part of his job, Harrell trains school employees what to do in active shooter situations and to defuse threats. Prior to Harrell’s hiring, the Roswell Police Department would host a class for schools within the city limits, while the Chaves County Sheriff’s Office would do the same for RISD schools located outside city limits. Hart though said sometimes the classes did not teach all the same information. “So now the school district has an in-house person that takes care of that and teaches all the same thing, and it is just his teaching. There is no variance,” he said. Breaking news reporter Alex Ross can be reached at 575-622-7710, ext. 301, or at breakingnews@rdrnews.com.

As children head back to school, they and their parents have lots to do to be ready for the first days of school. Clothing and supplies may be top priorities, but families also should focus on safety as the first day of school draws close. The following are some key tips families can keep in mind to ensure a healthy and happy upcoming school year.

School bus safety

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration says that school buses are the safest way for chil-

dren to travel to and from school. The majority of school bus-related injuries occur while students are boarding and getting off the bus. Over the last 10 years, the NHTSA says nearly two-thirds of school-age pedestrians who were fatally injured by school buses or other vehicles were hurt after being struck while entering or exiting the bus. While at the bus stop, children must remember to stay at least five large steps away from the road and wait to board until the driver says so. When leaving the bus, students

should make sure there is no oncoming traffic and wait for a signal from the bus driver before crossing busy streets. While on the bus, observe the rules and stay seated at all times. Keep the center aisle clear of backpacks.

Walking/biking safety

Students may walk or bike to school if the school permits. School tends to begin during the morning rush hour, so students must exercise extreme caution when walking or biking to school. Stick to sidewalks whenever possible when walking. Cyclists

should follow the rules of the road, including riding in the same direction as traffic. Choose the safest route as a family and practice it before the first day of school, advises the security company ADT.

Backpack safety

Choose an ergonomically designed backpack to enhance safety and comfort. Backpacks should weigh no more than 5 to 10 percent of the child’s body weight, advises the National Safety Council. Rolling backpacks should be avoided since they are a tripping hazard.

Back to School

PARENTS, MAKE SURE KIDS TRAVEL TO AND FROM SCHOOL SAFELY WITH THESE TIPS FOR TAKING THE BUS.

Arrive at the bus stop at least five minutes early to avoid rushing, and never run to or from the bus.

When waiting at the bus stop, stand at least five giant steps away from the curb. Wait until the bus comes to a complete stop, the door opens and the driver gives you the okay before approaching the bus.

If you drop something near the bus, don’t try to pick it up. Tell the bus driver instead. Always look left, right and left again before crossing the street. Cross at crosswalks or corners whenever possible, and never cross from in between parked cars.

Make sure the bus driver can see you. Always take at least ten giant steps forward before crossing in front of the us, and never cross behind it.

When riding the bus, stay in your seat facing forward whenever the bus is moving. Keep the aisles clear, and keep your head and hands inside the bus.

Use the handrails when entering or exiting the bus to keep your balance, and never push or shove.

Talk quietly on the bus, so you don’t distract the bus driver, and always follow his or her instructions.

Drivers, slow down and remain alert in school zones and near bus stops. Prepare to stop when you see flashing yellow or red lights from a school bus, and never pass a stopped school bus that is picking up or unloading students. Remember that kids are often excited about the start of school and may not be paying attention at all times. It’s our responsibility to be aware and keep them safe!
