Thank You Los Alamos Voters
Los Alamos Public Schools would like to thank the Los Alamos community for supporting the General Obligation Bond in this yearâs election.
The November 7, 2023 election in Los Alamos resulted in 81 percent of the Los Alamos voters voting âyesâ for the Los Alamos Public Schools general obligation bond.
The general obligation bond will generate $30 million for critical updates to school buildings throughout the district, including the replacement of PiĂąon and Chamisa Elementary Schools. Having high quality facilities and learning environments benefits our community. We are thankful to the Los Alamos voters for prioritizing our children and taking the time to vote.

10 Useful Tips for Staying Healthy When Traveling This Holiday Season
BY ASHLEY MARTENS PUBLISHED: OCT 2, 2023
The holidays are all about reconnecting with friends and family, which means you might be doing a lot of traveling. Whether youâre taking a plane, bus, train, or any other mode of transportation to reunite with your loved ones, itâs important you check in with your body and take care of yourself. At the same time, we get it. When youâre on the go, this is easier said than done. This is why weâve made things a breeze by rounding up all our most useful tips for staying healthy when traveling for the holidays.
- Be Selective. Itâs easy to say yes to everything and overcommit. Instead of feeling overwhelmed and possibly running down your immune system, figure out whatâs doable for your schedule and learn to say no.
- Get Quality Sleep. One of the easiest ways to stay healthy is by simply getting good sleep. Donât forget a sleep mask or noise-cancelling headphones for your flight and if you're staying with your friends or family, make sure you actually make time to rest.
- Eat Well. A major challenge when traveling is finding healthy food. Seek out fresh options like salads or nuts and trail mix as snacks throughout the day.
- Choose Vitamin C-Rich Foods. Unfortunately, the holidays also happen to be the start of cold and flu season, so take extra precautions and add immune-supporting foods to your daily meals and snacks. Citrus fruits are excellent sources of antioxidants, minerals, and vitamin C, so always make it part of your day-to-day.
- Go Outside. Traveling can leave us feeling frazzled and stressed, but a simple walk outside (even in the cold) can instantly change your mood and is hands down the pick-me-up you need.
- Stay Hydrated. Moving from place to place is dehydrating and can leave you feeling sluggish, but drinking water helps combat those unwanted feelings. Itâll also help you stay radiant for your holiday celebrations.
- Move, Move, Move. Donât just sit around over the holidaysâgo out of your way to be active. Whether you do lunges in a hotel room or work out at a local gym, get moving.
- Prioritize Your Mental Health. All the emotions and effort that goes into the holidays can be mentally and emotionally draining. Make sure you take time to decompress by listening to a podcast or getting a massage. All in all, your mental health shouldnât take a backseat to the festivities.
- Wash and Sanitize Your Hands. Washing and sanitizing your hands while in transit is key. Bring hand sanitizer (just make sure the bottle isn't too big for your carry-on) or towelettes with you to keep germs and viruses away.
- Consider Supplements. Want to give your body an extra boost? Do your research and ask your doctor about which supplements you should take throughout the holiday season.
