Congratulations to Marshall Mendez at Desert Sage Academy for having his film, Algebra II in the Kitchen, featured at the Film Prize Jr NM Santa Fe Screening at the Violet Crown Tuesday, June 6th at 6PM!
His film is one of the 15 films selected to be featured out of the 93 student-made films submitted!
Film Prize Junior New Mexico is a new initiative from the creators of the award-winning Louisiana Film Prize and Film Prize Junior Louisiana in partnership with the Stagecoach Foundation. Film Prize Junior is a student short film competition for middle and high school students across the state of New Mexico.
For this competition, educators and students work together to create a concept, write a story, and produce and edit a short film with help from our team members and film mentors. If an entrant to our festival makes it through our competition, we showcase their short film at our film festival. Furthermore, entries can qualify for huge prizes including equipment grants for the schools, scholarships for the students and cash rewards for the educators!

Multiple school districts throughout the state have received social media threats against schools. SFPS and SFPD are taking precautionary measures to ensure the safety at our schools. The City of Santa Fe and SFPD are working directly with the FBI on the threat, which appears to be a hoax. There is no immediate threat towards any SFPS school.
