LAPS News:
Ninety-five Los Alamos Public Schools employees received service awards during the All-Staff Back to School meeting held last week in Duane Smith Auditorium.
Staff from across the district were on hand for the welcome back meeting, which featured guest speakers Lieutenant Gov. Howie Morales and Commissioner of Public Lands Stephanie Garcia Richard. Superintendent Dr. Jose Delfin gave a brief presentation and reminded all staff that “together we shine brighter.”
Human Resources representatives handed out Nambe ware for five, 10, 15, 20, and 25 years of service. Three employees achieved 30 years of service.
LAPS has a staff of over 600 employees, and is the third largest employer in Los Alamos, behind Los Alamos National Laboratory and Los Alamos County. “We are thrilled that so many employees enjoy being a part of the LAPS family and their longevity with the district,” Superintendent Delfin said.
