🧦✨ It’s Socktober – and we’re collecting new socks all month long to support students in need across our district!
Did you know that socks are one of the most requested, but least donated items for people experiencing hardship? Let’s change that – one pair at a time. 💛We are leading this effort to bring comfort and care to our students, and we’re inviting schools and community members to join in!

📍 Look for collection boxes at every APS school and locations throughout the community.
🧦 All donations go directly to students who need them most.
🎯 Goal: Warm feet, full hearts, and a stronger, more connected community.
Let’s make this the coziest and kindest Socktober yet! 🧦💛

🥫 October is Tackling Hunger Month, and this week we’re recognizing National Food Bank Week – a time to raise awareness, take action, and stand together against food insecurity. 💪🍎

At APS, the HOPE Team is committed to making sure no student or family goes hungry. Through food drives, pantry partnerships, and connecting families with local resources, we’re here to provide real support – because hunger shouldn’t be a barrier to learning. 💛

Here’s how you can help:
✅ Donate non-perishable food items to the Tiger Care Center
✅ Volunteer at our monthly Roadrunner Mobile Food Pantry (first Wednesday of each month
✅ Spread the word about hunger resources available through the HOPE Team

Together, we’re not just tackling hunger – we’re building HOPE, one meal at a time. 🧡

If you are a student in need of resources, please call or text our HOPE Team at (575) 430-0191 or email: HOPE@alamogordoschools.org.
