Revealing a trend among New Mexico's counties, the Roosevelt County Commission officially adopted a resolution Tuesday, calling upon the New Mexico Legislature to petition for a convention of the states under Article V of the US Constitution.   Roosevelt County became the fifth to adopt such a resolution, joining Hidalgo, Colfax, Otero, and Catron.Â
Several counties are considering similar actions to urge the New Mexico Legislature to call for a national amendments convention under Article V to consider fiscal restraint, federal overreach, and term limits, all of which congress refuses to address.

Summer culminates with Acting Technique and Mindset Bootcamps!
SILVER CITY, NEW MEXICO, July, 2024— "Acting Classes and Growth Mindset exercises fit together like a hand in glove", says TheActrix Studio Founder, Wendy Spurgeon. "Just a few weeks ago, a group of 14 young students participated in in a series of short musical theatre, improv, and comedy workshops, with some SEL mixed in. Drama classrooms are a natural environment for SEL (Social and Emotional Learning). Every day we see the positive impacts drama has on children's social, cognitive, physical, and emotional development. As drama teachers, we tend to incorporate elements of SEL without even thinking about it. In this summer series, we did it on purpose!"  Spurgeon, with fellow instructors Hallie Harris, Ana Trinidad, and teaching assistants, Faith Pellegrino and Siobhan Pyper combined forces to offer a full summer schedule of Mindset, SEL (Social Emotional Learning), and Drama classes.
