PCA Students Thank Our Legislators

---

We want to extend our heartfelt gratitude to Senator Gabriel Ramos, Representative Luis Terrazas,  Lieutenant Governor Howie Morales and his staff for welcoming our PCA CTSO student leaders to the Roundhouse. This visit was an incredible opportunity for our students to see firsthand how our state government operates and to feel the impact they can have as future leaders.

Senator Ramos and Representative Terrazas graciously took time out of their morning to personally guide our students through the Roundhouse, sharing insights and experiences that brought the legislative process to life. Their willingness to engage with our students made a lasting impression, showing them how accessible and influential civic leadership can be.

At the Lieutenant Governor’s office, students were warmly greeted by his staff, who shared valuable information and thoughtful keepsakes. While the Lieutenant Governor was unavailable due to the Senate not being in session, our students still felt welcomed and appreciated, gaining a deeper understanding of the vital work being done at the state level.

To make the experience even more interactive, students later participated in a Roundhouse scavenger hunt, exploring the building in a fun and engaging way.

This opportunity was made even more special by the incredible student leaders who represented our school with curiosity, respect, and enthusiasm:

• Jasmine Eskeets – BPA Student President
• Allyssa Rosenbarker – TSA High School President
• Marley Eskeets – FCCLA High School President
• Abigail Rosenbarker – HOSA Vice President
• Logan Phillips – TSA Middle School President

I could not be more proud of these students for their eagerness to learn and their desire to express their appreciation for this experience. Their gratitude reflects the kind of leaders they are becoming, and I hope this visit inspires them to stay engaged in shaping the future of New Mexico.

Thank you again to our state leaders for making this visit so meaningful—we deeply appreciate your time, kindness, and dedication to education!
