THRIVE Drive
Alamogordo Public Schools' annual Thrive Drive!
Once a year for an entire month, APS employees may give to any of the Thrive community programs or any other 501C3 they choose.What is Thrive?
Thrive (formerly known as United Way) is a non-profit organization that has been helping to improve the lives of our children, seniors, neighbors, families, and friends in our community for over 50 years.
Thrive currently funds 17 community programs such as Big Brothers Big Sisters Otero County, Alamogordo Senior Center, Boys & Girls Club of Otero County, COPE (Center of Protective Environment), S.A.N.E (Sexual Assault Nurse Examiners), and many more in both Otero and Lincoln Counties.
⭐All funds donated and raised in Otero and Lincoln Counties stay in Otero and Lincoln Counties (Unless you choose to send your money somewhere else).
⭐You can give to ANY 501C3 you choose, even if they do not have a program funded by Thrive.
⭐You don't have to give a lot to make a Big Difference (even $1 per paycheck helps), and your donation is 100% Tax Deductible!
⭐For every person who completes at least a $5 per paycheck ($10/month) pledge, their name will go into a RAFFLE!
So, how do you donate?
Please request a "Thrive APS Pledge Form" by emailing Thrive@alamogordoschools.org
⭐We will send you the "Thrive APS Pledge Form" through Frontline Central.
Just fill out the form and click submit; that's it! Then, beginning in January, it will start coming out of your paycheck.
Thank you for your support of Thrive and the many vital programs it supports in our community!

📑ASSESSMENT ALLEY📑
CFA 2 on Illuminate Tiles
Prior to this year, CFAs were normally downloaded and put in a folder for viewable access on a shared drive folder. Since Illuminate has a more user friendly interface in the new item bank, there are more "web only" questions. This would increase likelihood of the downloaded PDF to not show the CFA question. In order to prevent missing questions, we will be putting the view only access to the CFAs leading up to administration. CFA #2 is open on the tiles. Please administer when you are ready!
