Champions of Youth Ambitions (C’YA) had a stellar turnout for our Valentines for Vets program. The beautiful pieces of handmade love were from the following:

Chamisa Elementary, 4-H Club, Homeschoolers, Los Alamos & White Rock Youth Activity Centers, Barranca Elementary, Los Alamos Teen Center, Los Alamos Middle School, Big Brothers Big Sisters, Mountain Elementary, K-Kids and Dragonfly Day Care.

The 2026 nominees from the Community Asset Awards also made cards and donated candy for Vets and treats and toys for pets.
