FMS In The News – Rio Rancho's Black, Piedra Vista's Yost earn 5A state golf titles. By James Yodice, Albuquerque Journal. The 5A girls tournament belonged, perhaps even before everyone teed off on Monday morning in Round 1, to Piedra Vista senior Annie Yost. Yost, headed for Florida Golf Coast, easily played the most brilliant golf, boy or girl, of anyone at the three state tournament venues this week, Yost started the day in front after a solid 2-under 71 on Monday. On Tuesday, she shot one of the great rounds in the history of the tournament, a spectacular 7-under 66, as she finished the two days with a 137 total, 9 under on her home course. She made nine birdies in her round on Tuesday. Fittingly, she closed with a final birdie on the 18th, her final hole, and successfully went back-to-back in 5A, after her victory at Twin Warriors Golf Club a year ago. Yost during one stretch made eight birdies in a sizzling 12-hole stretch. She opened with a bogey, but birdied Nos. 3, 5, 6 and 9 to turn at 3-under. After parring the 10th, she birdied four straight holes, 11-14, and a near hole-out eagle at 12 was the first time she thought “this is my day.” And then closed in style to some loud cheers. Yost finished 12 shots in front of Organ Mountain’s Eleanor Warden, who started the day just three shots behind. Not surprisingly, Piedra Vista’s girls also won the 5A title, although the Panthers needed most every bit of Yost’s efforts. Piedra Vista finished the 36 holes at 670, a dozen shots in front of runner-up La Cueva. Centennial was far back in third place. Piedra Vista’s girls and Volcano Vista’s boys won the state championship for the second year in a row. Photo provided by Turkeyboy Photography.

FMS In The News – New web portal developed by NMSU links farms to institutional buyers. By Algernon D'Ammassa, Albuquerque Journal. A newly launched website aims to connect New Mexico food producers with agencies or institutions such as school districts, senior centers and food banks. The program, which received development funds through the New Mexico Department of Agriculture, aligns with the safety standards of New Mexico Grown, a state-recognized local food initiative. Marie Johnson, one of Path to Plate’s inaugural buyers, supervises the student nutrition program for the Farmington Municipal Schools, which serves over 10,600 students and presents thousands of breakfasts and lunches daily. She has also been proactive in regular meetings between growers and institutional buyers ahead of planting seasons. Johnson said the school district has purchased directly from producers and through the Harvest Food Hub, and will now purchase through Path to Plate as well. Johnson is not only an early registrant, but helped test the portal ahead of launch. Read more: https://www.abqjournal.com/business/article_8ea37c78-5602-4229-872d-0475a36fa9fb.html

School nurses are our first responders for medical concerns. School nurses and nurse aides are the first place a student thinks to go when they don't feel well or have been hurt. But they also provide a wealth of information that supports a successful education as well. The observance reminds us of all the great reasons the nurse is available to your school. They provide more than Band-Aids for scrapes on the playground and check for fevers when a child shows the first sign of illness. Thank you!
