Students participating in the Acequia Walk and Talk along Arenal and Acequia gained firsthand experience with traditional water systems that have supported local communities for generations. Led by the Center for Social Sustainable Systems (CESOSS) and supported by the Middle Rio Grande Conservancy District (MRGCD). ⁠
⁠
Rooted in the concept of querencia—a deep sense of place and responsibility—the walk allowed students to explore the science of water flow, gravity, and sustainability while learning the cultural significance of water as sacred and life-giving. They connected what they saw with their own school garden, which uses acequia water, and reflected on their role as caretakers of this essential resource. Bilingual discussions and storytelling helped students bridge their classroom science learning with community values, traditional knowledge, and real-world environmental challenges.

Every family deserves support! ⁠
