ENMU is Partner in History Project Involving Eastern N.M. School Districts

U.S. Senator Pete Domenici has announced that the Portales Municipal School District has been awarded a $1.0 million federal grant to support a “Portales Pioneers – Teaching American History in Eastern New Mexico” project.

Domenici said the Portales grant proposal, developed in part with Eastern New Mexico University, is intended to give history teachers throughout eastern and southeast New Mexico more resources to improve the teaching of American history.

The three-year grant to Portales was awarded by the U.S. Department of Education through its competitive Teaching American History Grants program. It is one of three awarded to New Mexico school districts, with similar grants going to the Albuquerque and Alamogordo public schools.

The goal of the program is to develop a network of “Master American History Teachers” who would then network with other teachers in school districts in a consortium supporting this grant proposal. These school districts include Clovis, Dora, Elida, Floyd, Fort Sumner, Grady, House, Melrose, Roswell, Tatum, Texico, and Tucumcari.

The development of this network would involve, among other things, access to professional development tools and activities, summer institutes, distance learning opportunities, and ongoing coaching.

In addition to the ENMU Department of History, Humanities and Social Sciences, the Portales program was developed with input from Roswell’s Robert H. Goddard Museum, the International Space Hall of Fame at the Museum of Space History in Alamogordo, the Las Vegas Museum and Rough Rider Memorial Collection, and the Amarillo Railroad Museum.

ENMU Sponsoring Saturday Kid Fest in Clovis: Bring Your Kids

Eastern New Mexico University is one of the major sponsors of 2006 Kid Fest at the AYSO soccer fields in Clovis (next to the Municipal Golf Course) from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturday, June 10. Hosted by Freedom Newspapers, the day-long festival is for all kids in the area and will feature such things as food vendors, bouncy games, pony rides, clowns and giveaways.

A number of employees and students, including the President's Ambassadors and football players, are volunteering their time.

The Boys’ and Girls’ Choirs, which include nearly 100 singers from elementary school age through high school, provide a comprehensive musical education for these students. They perform publicly through the year in Charlotte and tour during the summer. Dr. Sitton was commissioned to write a work for the choir with the support of a grant from the Arts and Sciences Council of Charlotte, and composed a piece using words from Psalm 104 and from the Tewa “Song of the Sky Loom,” a text from one of New Mexico’s Pueblo cultures. The piece was written for all the choirs’ singers along with piano, French horn, cello, and violin. It was premièred in Charlotte on May 12 and repeated during the annual awards banquet, which Dr. Sitton attended, on May 19; during the choirs’ tour this summer the piece will be sung throughout the Southeast.

Robert McKinney has accepted a position as Sports Information Director at Willamette University in Salem, Ore.

Ginger's Safety Tip of the Month

Combatting Heat

High temperatures and humidity stress the body's ability to cool itself, and heat illness becomes a special concern during hot weather. There are three major forms of heat illnesses: heat cramps, heat exhaustion, and heat stroke, with heat stroke being a life-threatening condition.

By taking a few simple precautions you can prevent heat illness. Condition yourself for working in hot environments – start slowly then build up to more physical work. Allow your body to adjust over a few days. Drink lots of liquids. Don't wait until you are thirsty, by then there's a good chance you are already on your way to being dehydrated. Electrolyte drinks are good for replacing both water and minerals lost through sweating. Never drink alcohol, and avoid caffeinated beverages like coffee and pop.

Take a break if you notice you are getting a headache or you start feeling overheated. Cool off for a few minutes before going back to work. Wear lightweight, light-colored clothing when working out in the sun. Take advantage of fans and air conditioners. Get enough sleep at night. With a little caution and common sense, you can avoid heat illnesses.

For more information on heat-related illnesses, contact the Safety Office at ext. 2796.
