CRITICAL FIRE CONDITIONS EXPECTED ON MONDAY... A persistent trough over the Desert Southwest will bring above normal temperatures, very dry to exceptionally dry air, AND breezy to windy conditions Sunday onward. Winds will be strongest on Monday and perhaps Tuesday. This will combine with very dry fuels to create critical fire conditions over much of southwest and south-central New Mexico. A fire weather watch has been issued for Monday afternoon as a result.

On May 8, 2024, Aldo Leopold Charter School held the end of the semester showcase for the internships that some of the students participated in and the YCC (Youth Conservation Corp) groups.
Each semester the students that participated with internships and the YCC give presentations. The school believes that students learn best by doing and having direct experience. Some of the students work with a local business as an intern and had displays that explained the job, what they did, and what they learned. Others join one of the YCC groups, eco monitoring, garden crew, trail crew or mural crew.
