During this week’s Board of Education meeting, Las Cruces Public Schools had the pleasure of welcoming Dr. Michelle Adames, CEO of Jardín de los Niños, along with members of her leadership team — Amber Sedillo, Director of Development & Community Engagement; Alma Ketcherside, Director of Family Services; and Sandra Lara, Director of Children’s Services.
Dr. Adames and her team joined Board President Erica Saunders and Board President-elect Gena Bermudez to share their gratitude for the strong partnership between LCPS and Jardín de los Niños. Dr. Adames presented a formal thank-you to the LCPS School Board for our collaboration this summer, and to Alameda Elementary Principal Ms. Morales for opening her school’s doors to host Jardín de los Niños during their roof renovation.
We at LCPS are equally grateful for the partnership, compassion, and dedication that Jardín de los Niños brings to our shared mission of serving the children and families of Las Cruces. Because of this collaboration, vital early childhood services continued uninterrupted, ensuring that students and families could continue to learn, grow, and thrive.
Thank you, Jardín de los Niños, for your unwavering commitment to our community and for being such a valued partner in supporting children and families across Las Cruces.
