Governor’s Report
Ma gu wam,
Hello Pueblo of Isleta. We hope everyone
has been staying safe and in good health.
To begin, we are still seeing COVID-19
cases here within the Pueblo. Our numbers
have ranged from 10 to 22 in the last
month. As of this writing, we have 12 total
positive cases here within the Pueblo. Of
the 12 positive cases, 11 of those are Pueblo
of Isleta Tribal Members. At this time, 9
households are being monitored. There are
no hospitalizations or deaths. The COVID
mitigation team highly recommends
wearing mask when appropriate. We have
made some great strides within the Pueblo
and all of you have been making a difference
in the fight against the COVID pandemic.
We have made some changes to the Public
Health Order. Please review the changes
and if there are any questions, please feel
free to call the COVID Line or the Governor’s
Office. Mask Mandates are still in place for
the Isleta Elementary School, Isleta Head
Start, Isleta Recreation Centers, Isleta
Elder Center and Assisted Living Facility,
Isleta Tribal Court, and the St. Augustine
Church. If you are feeling symptoms of
COVID-19, please call the COVID number
(505) 869-9720 for assistance.
The COVID team has approved the use of
opening the Chical Hall on Tribal Road 2
and the Old Court house to be rented for
events. The rental of the building will be
scheduled accordingly and to availability.
Please call the treasury department for
reservations and payments.
On Wednesday June 1, 2022, Tribal
Administration along with President
and Vice President of the Tribal Council
attended the Tribal Leaders Summit
hosted by the New Mexico Indian Affairs
Department.
Cabinet Secretary Lynn
Trujillo (Sandia Pueblo) moderated the
event. On the first day of the summit,
Tribal leaders from across the state along
with each Cabinet Secretary and staff were
given a history of the relationship between
the state of New Mexico and Tribal Entities
and the key Indian laws and Policies that
have been developed. The main goal of the
Summit is to provide guidance towards
collaboration and communication, which is
spelled out in the State-Tribal Collaboration
Act (STCA). The STCA general goals are to
provide positive government-to-government
relations, effective communications and
cultural competency of the State of New
Mexico departments. The communication
and collaboration between the State of
NM and Tribal Entities should occur when
the development and implementation of
policies, agreements, and programs directly
affect Native Americans or Alaska Natives.
Some State activities that require STCA
adherence are Healthcare services and
programs, Education program development
and Child protective services to name a few.
In addition, Tribal Leaders were able to
provide State of the Nation addresses of their
respective Pueblos, Tribes, and nations.
Many Tribal leaders thanked Governor
Lujan-Grisham for her continued support
July 2022

Isleta Pueblo News
July 2022
of Tribes. They also addressed concerns
that they have within their communities.
I thanked Governor Lujan-Grisham for
her continued support to Isleta Pueblo
with funding of infrastructure projects. I
also addressed our concerns with Children
Youth and Families Department (CYFD)
and jurisdictional issues we are facing.
Overall, the summit was very informative
and we had a good response from Cabinet
Secretary Barbara Vigil about our concerns.
We look forward to continued collaboration
with the various Cabinet Secretaries and
their staff.
We have been blessed with the rain in the
past few weeks and grateful to the creator
for hearing our prayers. Although we have
had rainfall, we are still concerned of the
conditions of the East and West rangelands.
Most of the rangeland is in poor condition
and with over-grazing and minimal rainfall,
we are asking permittees to be cognizant of
the conditions and consider bringing their
cattle home. The conditions may warrant
a mandatory removal of all cattle from the
rangeland. If the decision is made to remove
cattle from the East and West rangeland
permittees will be notified. Moving forward,
a full assessment of the rangeland will also
be completed to assure proper management
of the rangeland resources.
At this time, the Middle Rio Grande
Conservancy District has run out of its
San Juan Chama irrigation supply. There
will still be a full supply for the P&P lands
but not for the entire District. Scheduling
and rotation for P&P lands began on June
12, as there will not be enough native flow
available to divert from the river to fill
all the ditches serving P&P lands. It is a
10-day rotation, and is divided by District
Division.
The amount delivered to each division is
based on how many P&P acres are in that
division. The Cochiti Division has about
half the P&P lands, so that division gets
a full supply for half the time, or 5 out of
10 days. The Cochiti Division then gets
a partial supply for 5 out of the 10 days,
including some of the small capacity but
long earthen Pueblo ditches as discussed
on the schedule.
The Albuquerque Division has about 30% of
the P&P lands, with half of that at Sandia
and Santa Ana, and half at the northwest
side of Isleta. The Albuquerque Division
gets a full supply for 3 days out of 10, with
1-1/2 days going to Sandia and Santa Ana
and 1-1/2 days going to Isleta’s northwest
side. The Albuquerque Division gets a
partial supply for 7 out of the 10 days.
The Belen Division, which includes Isleta’s
east side and part of Isleta’s southwest
side, is about 20% of the P&P lands, so they
get a full supply for 2 out of 10 days and a
partial supply for 8 out of 10 days. The BIA
and District work together to deliver the
required amount of water to the Pueblos,
but it is the responsibility of each Pueblo
to administer the water internally within
each Pueblo. The attached schedule draft
schedule covers the period of July 3 – 23.
This and updated schedules will be posted
on the Isleta Facebook page.
However, the District will divert to some
non-P&P lands after the P&P demand
has been fully satisfied, so the District
will not have to shut down non-P&P lands
from irrigating at that time, even though
the Pueblos are scheduling and rotating.
However, depending on if it rains, this
available water to non-P&P lands could
cease in July.
Each Pueblo will work directly with the
District to let the District know which
ditches to put water in and when, both
during times of full and partial supply. The
Pueblo of Isleta has access to more return
flows than the other Pueblos, and will work
directly with the District on deliveries, both
during full supply and during the partial
supply return flows.
Be prepared to irrigate at any time day
or night when water is available per
rotation schedule. Do not waste water by
over irrigating Please cooperate with the
Mayordomos in the scheduling of water.
As we all continue to move forward in the
COVID-19 Pandemic, with the cost of rising
prices due to inflation, and the everyday
struggles we all face, I want to encourage
all of you to keep the faith, be strong and
stand together with good thoughts and
please be good to one another. Standing
together with good thoughts makes us a
strong community. We will all continue
to pray to our creator for the health and
healing of our community.
Congratulations to all the 2022 graduates
in their next education endeavors and with
their professional career. You will become
the next generation of tribal leaders in
whatever paths you chose to take. Be proud
of your accomplishments, continue to strive
toward those to come, and continue to make
your family and community proud of you.
May we continue to receive rain and with
our good thoughts and prayers, may the
Creator keep us safe and bless us with a
long and prosperous life.

LETTER FROM THE EDITOR
DEADLINE for August Newsletter articles is set for
Wednesday, July 20, 2022, at 4:30 pm. Articles may be
dropped off at the Library or emailed to Nathaniel.Lujan@
isletapueblo.com. Should you email your article, expect a
confirmation email. If you do not receive a confirmation
email, odds are it never made it to me and then it’s time to
panic, so call Nate at 505.869.9808.
People who wish to submit an article or flyer are responsible
for generating their own article or flyer. Should you need
help, please call the Library at 505.869.9808 and set up a
date and time to sit down with a Library staff member who
will help you throughout the process. The Library will NOT
accept notes dropped off at the Library or information over
the phone to generate your article.
PROBATES need to be published in the Newsletter for
two consecutive months. Probates are considered court
documents, therefore, all submitters must provide: 1)
Name of Deceased, 2) Date of Deceased 3) Court Case #
and 4) Date of Court Date. A Probate form can be found on
the Newsletter Archive page at http://www.isletapueblo.
com/newsletters.html .
CLASSIFIED ADS: The new administration has requested
that the Newsletter start a Classified Ad section for Tribal
members selling land, houses, mobile homes, vehicles, and
farm equipment. Leasing of houses and mobile homes will
be accepted. Smaller items which can be sold at the local
flea markets or weekly yard sales will NOT be accepted.
Currently, this service is FREE to Tribal members. Land,
houses, and mobile homes must be within the reservation
boundaries. Ads must meet the 160 character limit. Ads
that exceed the 160 characters will NOT be submitted into
the Newsletter. A single picture June be submitted with
the ad. Submitters of classified ads are responsible for
generating their own ads as this is a FREE service.
As a reminder, Tribal business owners may submit a small
flyer at no charge. Like the classified ads, business owners
are responsible for generating their own flyers as this is a
FREE service.
Classified ads and business flyers will be posted no more
than two consecutive months. In the event where the
Newsletter may exceed the 24-page limit, classified ads and
business flyers will be “bumped” for newsletter articles.
Again, this is a FREE service for Tribal members.
The Isleta Newsletter is owned and operated by the Pueblo
of Isleta. Therefore, the Governor of the Pueblo of Isleta
has the final say of all articles and contents within the
Isleta Newsletter.
For additional questions, you may call the Library and
speak with Nate or Diane at 505.869.9808.
Thank you,
Nathaniel Lujan

ANIMAL CONTROL
Hello everyone and happy summer!
We hope everyone is staying cool during these VERY
HOT summer months. If you do not know already,
the State of New Mexico is in a bad drought and we
are seeing record high temperatures all over the state.
That being said it is important to make sure your
four-legged friends are staying cool as well. If you
are not familiar with the Isleta Animal Ordinance,
there are rules for making sure your pets are in a safe
living environment, whether you keep them inside
or outside. If you are to keep your pets outside, they
MUST be confined to your property at all times. If you
have a fenced in yard which is able to prevent your
pets from escaping that is fine. If you do not, your pets
must be on a restraint line which is a minimum of
8 (eight) feet long and must be fixated to the animal
by use of a properly fitted collar and harness. Your
pets must also have fresh water easily accessible and
shelter available to escape from the harsh elements.
Failure to comply will result in the proper actions
being taken and possible forfeiture of the animal(s).
One other big thing Animal Control has noticed
while out on patrol is the fact that the majority of the
animals we pick up do NOT have proper identification.
Proper ID is either an ID tag on the pet’s collar or a
Microchip. Under Ordinance this is REQUIRED to
have at all times. An ID tag shall include the owner’s
name, physical address, contact phone number and
the animal’s name. A microchip shall have all these
factors as well. If your pet does not have any proper
ID and it is picked up by Animal Control, it will be
considered a stray and transported to the Valencia
County Animal Shelter, where they have their own
intake and holding fees.
To finish, I would like to let everyone know of Isleta
Animal Control’s new holding facility! We are currently
working to put permanent kennels throughout the
building to reduce the number of animals taken to the
Valencia County Animal Shelter. It is located off of
Tribal Road 64 in Pickle Heights, right next to the little
rec. IAC is currently taking donations on blankets,
towels, and toys for the cats and dogs we hold here.
We also have some food leftover to be donated for free
to Tribal Members. Please call to arrange a time to
meet and get food. Limited stock is available.
Section 3.B Proper Identification. All animals
must have proper identification tags attached to their
collars or embedded in a microchip at all times. The
tag shall include the owner’s name, physical address,
phone number and the animal’s name. If an untagged
animal is picked up by Animal Control, it will be
considered a stray and transported to the Animal
Shelter. Failure to comply with this subsection will
result in a $25.00 fine made payable to Animal Control.
Section 3.E Proper Care and Maintenance. It is
the responsibility of the owner to provide adequate
shelter, fresh food and water for their animals at all
times and a clean living environment. Clean water
must be available and accessible at all times. Owners
are also responsible to provide adequate veterinary
care for an injured or sick animal. Depending on
the severity or condition of the animal, it could lead
to CRIMINAL CHARGES being filed for ANIMAL
NEGLECT and or ANIMAL CRUELTY under this
Animal Ordinance.
Section 3.F Running at Large. No animal is
allowed to run at large, roam or create a nuisance
on another person’s property or public areas of the
Pueblo. All animals must be within the control of their
owner, confined or physically restrained in a manner
it cannot escape. First offense for an animal running
at large will result in a $25.00 fine. Second offense
will result in a $50.00 fine. The third offense will
result in a $100.00 fine. Four or more violations will
result in being cited for “Nuisance Animals” as well
as a petition will be filed in court to have the animal
removed from its owner.

My name is Jonna Toledo and I work out of the Goodwill
store in Los Lunas. What I do is help people find jobs in
the community. This is a FREE service that Goodwill
offers. I do work by appointment. The first appointment
I just get the information to help with your job search.
Example: What you are looking for, your availability,
experience, etc…we do meet weekly until you find
a job. Just because you find a job does not mean we
are finished! I will stay in touch with you about once
a month for 3 months just to make sure everything is
going well. We want to make sure you are being treated
well and that the job is a good fit for you. I can give
job leads, help fill out applications electronically, make
resumes, and we can also practice interviewing skills so
you feel comfortable in an interview. I do know lots of
hiring managers in the area to help set up interviews.
We participate in job fairs as well as organize them
and set them up at Goodwill in Albuquerque and Los
Lunas. Because we are a non profit there is no charge
for this service. It is FREE to the community. Not a
lot of people realize that Goodwill does FREE services
because they are not really advertised. They just know
that the store is a good place to go and get good deals on
merchandise. It doesn’t matter what type of job you are
wanting, I can help! There are several different fields in
the area including administrative, custodial/janitorial,
retail, daycare, eldercare, warehousing, production,
retail and food services. Soon landscaping and outdoor
type positions will be opening up. Please contact if
you need help. It is always my pleasure to help with
your job search. Just call me to set up an appointment!
Thank you!
ST. AUGUSTINE
Baptism makes us
sharers in the life
of God as members
of the Church, the
Body of Christ. The
Church’s sacraments
are action of the
whole Church, which
necessarily take place in a local community, that is,
in a parish. In the celebration of the sacraments, the
Church is built up, its faith strengthened, the hand of
salvation is extended to faithful believers.
Baptisms at St. Augustine Parish are celebrated on
the third Sunday of each month, except during the
Lenten season. We ask that parents register for
baptism at least two months in advance of the date
you plan on having your child baptized. Parents are
responsible for coming to the parish office to fill out
a Baptismal Registration Form. Non-Parishioner’s
must obtain a letter from their Church of registration
giving permission to have their child baptized at St.
Augustine. A baptismal preparation class must be
attended by both parents and godparents. Parents,
it is your responsibility to make sure the persons
you have selected as Godparents have received the
sacraments of initiation (Baptism, Confirmation, First
Eucharist). Please call the Parish Office if you have
further questions, (505) 869-3398.

Greetings to everyone! It is that time of year
where we want to celebrate our kids graduating from High
School. A great accomplishment for every family. It is
almost tradition to have a dinner and dance to let our kids
know how proud of them we are. As many of you know,
my husband and I are well known in the community for
bringing music and laughter together. I grew up listening
to my dad and my uncle’s band play for such events for
a long time as “The Pueblo Ramblers”. It would be our
honor to DJ for anyone who would have us. Please call
us if you are interested in booking us for your next Party.
We also do weddings,
birthdays, any event
that makes you want to
dance. You can call/text
for booking information
at
505-238-6305.
We also sell “Pueblo
Rambler” Cd’s. Thank
you for your support!

HOUSING AUTHORITY
Seasonal Service - The Isleta Pueblo
Housing Authority (IPHA) has been very
busy with Seasonal Service these last few
weeks. For those who had to wait, thank
you for your patience. This season was
overwhelming, IPHA attempted to service
as many households as possible; however,
due to staff shortage and having to hire subcontractors to assist, unfortunately service
took longer than expected. Beginning in
the Fall 2022, IPHA will only be servicing
the shut-ins, elders (65+), disabled, and
veterans. Any other households calling
in for seasonal service will be referred to
a list of contractors who can provide the
service at the homeowner’s expense.
Work Orders – IPHA receives a number of
calls on a daily basis for work orders, these
work orders include service for plumbing,
electrical, and seasonal service issues,
in addition to requests for renovations
or major repairs. IPHA has a limited
number of maintenance staff to address all
these calls, we ask for your patience if our
Maintenance Techs are unable to assist
you immediately. Emergencies (health
and safety related) will be given priority,
all others will be addressed in the order
they were received.
Emergency
Rental
Assistance
Program – the US Department of
Treasury’s ERA Program will be ending
on September 30, 2022. For those tribal
members who are RENTING and in
need of assistance, the cut-off date to
apply or re-apply is September 16, 2022.
This will allow IPHA sufficient time to
process payments prior to the end date of
September 30, 2022. The ERA1 Program
provides assistance for rent and utilities
(as part of the rental agreement). Keep in
mind, there are eligibility requirements
under this program. For further

TRUANCY
Summertime Summer Fun!
We hope you and your families are having a wonderful
summer, enjoying time together, and making memories.
Everyone loves to be outside in the summertime doing
yard work, playing with the kids, attending family
gatherings, and many other activities. Some tips
on how to keep you and your family safe during the
summer heat are:
♦
Stay hydrated
• Make sure you are drinking enough water,
especially if you are outside, don’t wait until you
are thirsty to drink water.
• Benefits of drinking water:
Gives nutrients and oxygen to your cells,
normalizes blood pressure, protects organs and
tissues, and regulating your body temperature.
♦
Sugary drinks
• Limit the intake of sugary drinks such as
sodas, sports drinks, energy drinks, sweetened
tea, and coffee, as they will dehydrate you even
more.
• Examples of healthy drinks:
Water with fresh fruit, unsweet iced tea, and
sparkling water.
♦
Clothing
• Instead of wearing tight-fitted clothing, wear
loose lightweight light-colored clothing. This will
help your body regulate its body heat.
• A few examples of loose and lightweight
clothing: loose shorts, tank tops, and breathable
shoes.
♦
Outdoor activities
• Limit outdoor activity as much as possible
especially in the middle of the day when it is the
hottest.
• Be sure to wear sunscreen to protect yourself
from harmful UV rays.
Use sunscreen with an SPF 30 or higher; apply
30 minutes before going out and reapply every 2
hours.
♦
Stay indoors
• Make sure you are in a well-air-conditioned
area and keep yourself cool during extremely
high temperatures.
• Close curtains during the day; adjust the
ceiling fan to the season, limit using your oven
as much as you can, as it will make your house
hotter.
Summer can be enjoyable for everyone as long as you
keep these hot tips in mind!
Remember to have a safe 4th of July
and enjoy your holiday!

ISLETA FIRE DEPARTMENT
Greetings from Isleta Fire Department,
As we all know fire season is now upon us,
now is the time to ensure that your house and
property are safe from fire. We have seen
continuously in the news all the wildfires
around us and just recently the closest wildfire
that occurred just south of us in Belen called
the “Big Hole” fire. Some residents didn’t
have time to gather personal belongings and
others did, as evacuations are mandated
residents only have minutes to gather what
they need and leave their residences. Let’s
make sure we as a community are prepared
if one day a wildfire occurs in the Bosque or
a field fire gets out of control. Here are a few
tips to fireproof and keep your house and
property safe from a wildfire.
BE PREPARED
• Ensure your home and neighborhood
have legible and clearly marked street
names and numbers. Driveways should
be at least 12’ feet wide with a vertical
clearance of 15’ feet for emergency
vehicle access.
• Develop, discuss, and practice an
emergency action plan with everyone in
your home. Include details for handling
pets, large animals and livestock.
• Plan two (2) alternate routes out of
your house and neighborhood (besides
the one normally used), practice a family
evacuation drill using the alternate route,
have a family meeting spot.
Scholarship Criteria for the 2022-2023 Tibien (Elk Mountain) College Fund

Dailey, the Tibien College Fund will award one $1000 scholarship

school seniors or persons who graduated from high school
within the last 4 years from the date of application, who are

California, and pursuing a college degree. Consideration will be
be given to academic achievement and the student’s community
service record. Students should submit a scholarship application.

installments in August 2022 and January 2023. The disbursement
will be made to the Financial Aid office of the recipient’s college.

grade- point average each semester.
Deadline:
The application deadline is August 3, 2022. Applications must be
received by that date to be considered. Award will be made no

Sh’eh Wheef Law Offices
P.O. Box 167
Isleta, New Mexico 87022
or swlopc@outlook.com
• Have a prepacked bag with clothing,
prescribed medication and personal
items to last three days (72 hours), keep
all personal and important documents in
a safe place or in a fireproof safe.
CHECK YOUR PROPERTY
• Make sure your home address
number is visible from the street. If not,
trim and clear obstructions covering or
blocking the numbers, replace numbers
if not visible, firefighters may need to
locate your home.
• Clear a 30’ foot radius around your
house from broken tree branches, piled
up dry leaves and weeds. Wood piles
should be kept away from your house
and off the porch or deck at least 30’
feet away. Keep all propane tanks and
flammable liquids away from your house
and off your porch or deck.
• Keep all trees and shrubs pruned
and trimmed, remove low hanging tree
branches up to a height of 4’ feet from
the ground.
If you feel threatened by the fire and
feel it’s unsafe to stay, EVACUATE,
don’t wait to receive an emergency
notification.
Let’s all think safely and burn wisely. Contact
Isleta Police dispatch (505) 869-3030 to see
if it’s a BURN or NO BURN Day. Remember
Burn Permits are required.

Summer is here once again and we hope everyone is staying hydrated, cool and applying
that SPF. With the heat can come hidden dangers that we often don’t think about in cooler
months like drinking enough water and heat exhaustion from staying out in the sun too
long. So let the library be your cool oasis in the summer heat and come in and enjoy the
nice AC and enjoy a book, FREE WIFI or hop on a computer for a while and take a break.

The first day of Summer Reading Program
can have some children feeling nervous
but this year our students for the Junior
program were very independent and
warmed up to each other fast. Considering
that some children have been in isolation
due to the pandemic so starting a new
program with new faces can be very scary to
3–6-year old’s. The library staff presented
the rules and made them feel comfortable
by playing with toys, playing outside and
making a “All About Me” collage to share
with students about their favorite color,
animal, movie and food. The first week was
all about getting to know each other, and
we ended the week going on a field trip to
A Park Above and Peter Piper Pizza. The
following weeks students participated in
daily story time and crafts centered around
Ocean Life. After each story time we would

the book and ocean life. We ended the
month of June with a Hula Performance
by Ka La Kapu Polynesian Dance School

Juniors a Hula dance and parents were
welcome to come to the performance as well.
We would like to thank the Ka La Kapu

performance and teaching us a little about
the Polynesian culture. Juniors took their
final field trip on July 21st to Urban Air

for lunch.
Our Youth Program for ages 7-14 years
old have been working in their group
curriculums and reading groups. The
students read 30 minutes each day and
after will talk about what they read. This
year we had 4 curriculums for students to
choose from during registration: Science/
STEM, Marvel Universe, Dinosaurs and
Food/Desserts. For their first field trip they
went to Cool Springs and Golden Corral.
They were able to get to know one another
and make new friends. Below are updates
from each group.

ISLETA POLICE DEPARTMENT
The summer heat
hit early and will
continue through
July but it seems our
monsoon season
has arrived as well
and hopefully will
help to replenish
the dry lands. The
dangers of the high temperatures leads to
many medical emergencies and we hope all
will consider the following suggestions. As
taken from an article from the American Red
Cross:
Heat Wave Safety
Learn how to stay safe during a heat wave
and how to treat heat-related illness like heat
exhaustion.
Extreme heat is the most dangerous type
of severe-weather event in the U.S., but we
can take action to prepare our loved ones
and communities for extreme heat events
and related power outages. Learn what to
do before, during, and after to help keep
everyone safe and healthy.
Ensure you know the types of notifications you
will receive and what to do when you receive
them. The National Weather Service issues
heat advisories and excessive heat warnings
when unusual periods of hot weather are
expected. Listen to local weather forecasters.
You may hear these terms when a heat wave
is predicted in your community:
Excessive Heat Outlook
Be Aware! An excessive heat outlook is
issued when the potential exists for an
excessive heat event in the next 3- 7 days. It
provides information to individuals who need
considerable lead time to prepare
for the event.
Excessive Heat Watch
Be Prepared! A heat watch is issued when
conditions are favorable for an excessive
heat event in the next 24 to 72 hours. It is
used when the risk of an extreme heat event
has increased, but its occurrence and
timing is still uncertain.
Excessive Heat Warning/Advisory
Take Action! An excessive heat warning
or a heat advisory is issued within 12 hours
of the onset of extremely dangerous heat
conditions. Take precautions immediately to
avoid heat-related illness.
How to Treat Heat-Related Illnesses
During heat waves people are susceptible to
three heat-related conditions. Here’s how to
recognize and respond to them.
How to Recognize and Treat Heat
Cramps
Heat cramps are muscle spasms, often in
the abdomen, arms or calves, caused by a
large loss of salt and water in the body.
What to look for:
•
Heavy sweating during intense
exercise

The Department remains busy with
community events to include the Father’s Day
Celebration at the Elderly Center, a Spay and
Neuter Clinic July 2-9 and many other events.
As a final reminder in lieu of the hot days thus
far and continuing throughout the summer,
please: NEVER LEAVE CHILDREN or PETS
in a vehicle. Temperatures within a vehicle
rise quickly and to a much higher degree than
the outside temperatures. Let us protect our
children and pets during the
hot summer months. Stay
hydrated, keep cool, wear
sunblock
and
protective
clothing and be aware of heat
emergencies that can arise
and how to address them.

RECREATION PROGRAM
It is great to have our youth running around
the recreation center and having lots of fun
again. We have over 80 children enrolled
in the program and have reached our max

in getting in the program. We will take
individuals off the waiting list if enrolled
participants drop out of the program. For

from kickball, baseball, nature walks,
fitness, art & crafts and many more
activities. Explora comes here once a week
to provide some cool STEM projects with the
participants, thanks to the Department of
Education. Department of Education has
worked closely with us over the last few
years to help get Explora here at the center
during the summer program. The youth
were excited to have their first fieldtrip for
the summer to Urban Air. At Urban Air
they did zip line, rock climbing, trampolines,
dodgeball and falling into the ball pits, they
had lots of fun and really seemed to enjoy
themselves.
In the following photos, you will see Group
8/9 doing a planting activity. Children
first painted their flowerpots and then
planted seeds. Groups 12 & up are doing
some lightweight training, some cardio
and stretching with Matt in the weight
room. Group 10/11 are in Yoga class with
Anne. In Yoga class, they learn basics Yoga
movements, and practice some breathing
techniques and learn to relax their bodies.
Group 8/9 are making candy sushi as one of
their food activities. They use Rice Krispies,
fruit roll ups, and gummy candies to form
their sushi rolls. Group 6/7 are making
slime by using baking soda and eye contact
solution. Group 10/11 and Group 8/9 are
playing a game of kickball. Group 5 are
swimming in the wading pool. Lastly, the
summer recreation staff are getting for the
day before getting into their groups.
SPORTS SECTION
AQUATICS CENTER
We just finished up with the Volleyball league Tournament. It was very exciting to
see everyone having fun and competing in Volleyball again. It came down to the
wire with Net Ninjas taking the crown away from undefeated BUFU, which finish
up in 2nd place. The 3rd place finisher this year was the Hummingbirds! Thanks
to all the teams that participated it was nice to see the community support one
another. Keep your eyes open for upcoming events.
Isleta Aquatics would like to welcome you all
to come visit the Recreation Center and cool
off in the pool! We will have sessions available
from 5:30am-8:30am as well as 4:30pm7:30pm Monday through Thursday and
5:30am-8:30am and 3:30pm-5:30pm Fridays.
We close mid-day to accommodate swim time
for youth programs Isleta has to offer. We find
gaining comfortability in the water at a young
age ultimately leads to more swimming and a
healthier lifestyle.
3rd Place - Hummingbirds
The Wading pool is also available for children
6 and under with an accompanying adult.
We are also offering our adults only lap swim
