Hi Santo Nino Angel Families,
Hooray! Choir will start next week! August 28, afterschool until 4:30. Snack will be provided. I release around 4:25 so that students can get their backpacks and we head outside for pickup. Students not picked up by 4:40 will be walked to Aftercare. If your child will report directly to Aftercare after choir, please let me know at kechols@santoninoregional.org.
Snack provided for the entire year is $15 per child. If you choose to send your child with their own snack, please no nuts. Please bring your $15 to me at your earliest convenience.

Thank you! I’m so excited!

Tardy & Drop Off/Pick-up
We have not been counting tardies the first 2 weeks. On Monday August 27th, we will start counting students tardy. If your student is going to be tardy, you must come in and sign them in.
At student drop off/Pick-up, please do not be talking nor texting on your phone. This is a hazard to our students.
Lastly, please do not park in the red-zone. This really slows down the traffic. We try really hard to get cars moved in and out as quickly as possible and with your assistance, we can!

Faculty Spotlight
Steven Lang-6th Grade
Please allow me to introduce myself. My name is Steven Lang. I will co-teach 6th grade with Ms. Martinez this year. I have taught for 14 years; a combination of private and public schools; and all grade levels at some point. My specialty areas include Language Arts, Social Studies and Business. Outside of school I enjoy spending time with family and friends. I moved to New Mexico, from Wisconsin, in 2014. For fun I hike, kayak, camp, garden and motorcycle ride. I am also in the 13th year of my secondary professional career, serving in the Army Reserves as a Chaplain Assistant. I have five grown children. My two daughters live in Santa Fe. One of my sons lives in New York City. The other two sons reside in Wisconsin.
Alicia Hererra-Kindergarten
Hello, my name is Alicia Herrera and I am an Educational Assistant for Kindergarten. This is my 8th year working at Santo Niño. I currently hold an Early Childhood Certification and a NM Level 2 Educational Assistant license. I enjoy working with the children, watching them grow and instilling in them a love for learning.
I live in Pecos where I enjoy fishing, camping and spending time with my family. I have a beautiful daughter named Hazel Grace who will be two in November and soon will be a Niño Santo. I look forward to an exciting school year filled with learning, love and faith!
Rose Romera-Pre-K
Up until 4 years ago, I had my own janitorial business. For 18 years, I traveled to Albuquerque back and forth 5 days a week. Since then I decided to do what I love, which is working with children. I love being a part of this Santo Nino community. My joy is making people smile and laugh, “even if it’s at my own expense “.
On my time away from Santo Nino, I love to spend it camping, fishing, exercising and drawing with my son. I love spending time with my family and praying.
I am a hard worker and I always give 110% in everything I do.
I recently decided to go back to school and get my Bachelors in Early Childhood Education. I believe anything is possible, as long as I have God in my life.
