Alamogordo Public Schools Sierra Elementary took on an innovative and fun approach to encourage student reading. The innovative approach included pie in the face for a few select teachers and an administrator.
Congratulations to Boni Hernandez who read 1632 pages in Sierra Elementary's reading contest just completed. Super job!
The program allowed for students to use their reading as votes, and whichever teacher received the most votes got a PIE TO THE FACE at a public school assembly.
Mr. Atkinson was the top vote-getter with 424 votes, but the school also managed to find another pie for second place winner, Mr. Lawrence!
Not to miss out on the fun and as a welcome to her new school, another pie appeared for the new principal, Mrs. Brabson!
Congratulations to the students and good sport to the pie in the face recipients.






Sunny, with a high of 105 and low of 74 degrees. Sunny in the morning, clear overnight.
Thank you for your in-depth story on Freddie Duran. Freddie and I went to school together, and played in the awesome Tiger Band. He was also in choir, and always ready to entertain anyone who would listen. He was a great entertainer and just a great guy. He will be missed.
So, it went from a semi open primary to a closed selection process limited to registered democrats being eligible for selection? Interesting.
i have participated in a much smaller scope version of this same situation - about 20 years ago, as a precinct chairman of the democratic party in a rural east texas county. after the primary election, the democratic candidate for a seat on the county commission suddenly died.
So any candidate regardless of party affiliation may submit their name for consideration?
here's hoping for expansion in the elephant graveyard...i can hardly wait until november 3rd.
It can join the corpses at the ******* cemetary.
thank you for a clear review of the coverage of this grievous occurrence. i would make several observations:
A killing is a killing.
