Our educational journey of the best that Santa Fe Public Schools has to offer brings us to another south side school with Pinon Elementary School. The Pinon pine nut is very distinct, unlike others of its kind, and can only be found in the southwest U.S. with the majority found in New Mexico. Pinon Elementary matches this original embodiment since being named a 2020 prestigious Blue Ribbon School by the U.S. Department of Education, affirming the hard work of students, educators, families and the community in creating a safe and welcoming school where students master challenging content. The Pinon Way, as many know it!
Piñon Elementary collaborates with the Master's Program to provide tutoring both during and after school for students. In return, teachers at Piñon provide mentorship to the Master’s Program’s students. Pinon’s other programs include:
Girls on the Run, which empowers young women by teaching life skills through lessons and running
Robotics
Gardening Club
Lego Club
Book Club and Yearbook
21st Century Community Learning Program that provides academic enrichment opportunities during non-school hours
Athletics include Baile Folklorico, basketball and cheerleading. Students also participate in a schoolwide walking program sponsored by the Parent Educator Service Club (PES).
The Piñon school motto “All Things are Possible When We Work Together Toward a Common Goal” represents the community’s commitment to the school and all children in Santa Fe. Pinon Elementary School is a noble and committed choice for students that desire both the support and school programs it has to offer!

Congratulations to the winning Pinon Robotics Team!
Congratulations to our 6th grade Robotics Teams! Last Friday they attended the AFRL Robotics Challenge Expo.
The four teams competed against teams across NM during the school year to earn four of the 30 spots at this competition.
Congratulations to RoboEagles Team 2 - Brook, Addy, and Julie as they took one of the three awards given at this year’s AFRL Robotics Challenge Expo. The award that they were given was the Integrity Award - this award is for overall spirit, sportsmanship, helping others, showing respect, and being honest.
Of special note is that all four of our teams received recognition for their Integrity and “if they could, they would have awarded all of the four teams from Pinon with the Integrity Award.”
Good job Eagles!!
RoboEagles Team 1 - Max, Ahmed, Ryan
RoboEagles Team 2 - Brooke, Addy, Julie
RoboEagles Team 3 - Brixen, Gavin, Alejandro
