In a recent Deming Public Schools meeting, the board unanimously approved two significant out-of-state trips for students, highlighting the district's commitment to experiential learning.
First, the archery teams from Red Mountain Middle School and Deming High School received the green light to travel to Sandy, Utah, for a national competition from April 24 to April 26, 2025. Board members expressed their excitement, with one member congratulating the teams on their upcoming opportunity.
Additionally, fifth-grade students from Reuben S. Torres Elementary will embark on a field trip to the Tucson Biosphere in Arizona on April 16, 2025. This trip is designed to enhance their Project-Based Learning (PBL) curriculum, focusing on sustainability in agriculture and the interconnectedness of Earth's systems. Teachers emphasized that the hands-on activities at the biosphere will deepen students' understanding of biomes and the water cycle, building on their previous studies.
Both trips reflect the district's dedication to providing enriching educational experiences that extend beyond the classroom, fostering a deeper understanding of critical environmental concepts among students.
