NWNM First Born Program

The City of Albuquerque is offering free “Ditch the Ditches” swim passes for kids 17 and under to promote summer safety and keep children out of dangerous arroyos and drainage ditches during monsoon season. The passes are valid May 23–September 7, 2026, and can be picked up at Albuquerque Fire Rescue stations, APD Area Commands, Bernalillo County Fire stations, the Sheriff’s Office, and select pools like West Mesa Aquatic Center.

Summer School will be starting soon for GMCS! Summer School hours will be from 7:30 am to 12:00 pm starting July 7th. Free breakfast and lunch will be provided to students, along with transportation to and from school. For any questions and additional information, contact your student's school.

Millions across the U.S. are facing their first round of summer heat this week! 🌡️🥵

Your first instinct on a 90-degree day may be to get in the car, crank the AC to max and sit there, but there’s a much faster way to clear out stagnant air. ⤵️

And remember: a parked car gets dangerously hot instantly. Never leave a child alone in a vehicle — not even for a second.
