DHS Art Dept Needs Community Support
DEMING – Deming High School is among the top 50 schools in the running to win $75,000 toward its art education program, thanks to the Vans Custom Culture competition.
DHS Art Department Head Jesse Kriegel said local students entered the 10th Annual Vans Custom Culture competition in January. The nationwide high school art competition aims to inspire youth creativity and self-expression through the arts, while making an impact to the community and schools that need additional funds. After registration ended, 500 schools were selected to design shoes and share an impact document on what winning the grand prize would mean to the school. Deming High was chosen as one of 50 finalist schools and now needs the community’s help to become this year’s winner. Kriegel said people can visit https://customculture.vans.com to vote for Deming High School through May 3rd. Interested supporters can cast one vote per day until voting closes. The four runner-up schools will each receive $10,000 and a special, limited-edition Vans gift for their participation. The grand prize winner will receive $75,000 for its art program, along with a visit from Vans for a celebration on its school campus filled with art and music. Collision with Cow Injures Two

Today: A slight chance of an afternoon shower or thunderstorm. High: Mid 70s. Wind: NW 5 to 15.
Tonight: Mostly clear. Low: Upper 40s. Wind: NW 5 to 15. Thursday: Sunny and warmer. High: Mid 80s. Wind: NW 5 to 15. Thursday Night: Mostly clear, with a low around 53. West southwest wind around 6 mph becoming east after midnight. Friday: Sunny. High: Upper 80s. Friday Night: Mostly clear. Low: Mid 50s. Saturday: Sunny and breezy. High: 90. State Weather: Leftover moisture and daytime heating will allow for enough instability for a few storms to develop across the higher terrain today. Any storms will move south or southeast, but won't be as numerous as yesterday. A high pressure area will move over the Desert Southwest on Thursday while a weak cold front nudges into northeast NM. Still, the moisture will not entirely move out, so a few more storms will be possible across the high terrain. The Sangre de Cristo Mountains will be favored as the low level upslope flow behind the front will help focus storm development on Thursday. We're looking for a drier and warmer pattern for Friday.
