An update on “Courtyard Wonders” development. Are all Los Vaqueros familiar with the 2009 project in which Los V partnered with Lowman Elementary School and constructed a garden within the courtyard of the school? The garden contains multiple beds, irrigated and filled with quality/plant-able soil to grow vegetables. The garden also contains an irrigated section for planting desert plants and a fish pond. The children maintain the entire garden, grow the food, and study life cycles of the plants and fish. Are all Los Vaqueros familiar with the 2010 project in which Los V built bug habitats for Lowman Elementary? The garden furthered the study of creature life cycles allowing Lowman to add the study of Aquatic Snails, Bess Beetles, Crayfish, and more. These wonderful education tools were created through acts of an amazing School Principal, dedicated School Teachers, and community minded Los Vaqueros. When we think about what a single project has spawned and built the real question is: are we prepared to participate in the next “single project” and see where it goes? Reach out to the Board of Directors and Committee Chairmen and ask how you can participate, if you are not you are missing out on the fun and the next “single project”.

On Friday, December 9th, Los Vaqueros invited forty National Guard families to KOHL’s and gave each family a $200 gift certificate to go shopping for Christmas. This is our very special way to say ―thank you to our military families for the sacrifices they make to defend our country.
Los Vaqueros also supports our military by donating $50 to the American Legion in honor of the monthly dinner meeting speakers to help pay tuition for young adults attending the Boys State and Girls Auxiliary State leadership programs.. In 2011, they matched the donation to send six young adults to Boys State and Girls State. It’s our honor to say ―thank you to our troops and their families.
Real Talk’s mission is to change the lives of youth, one person at a time, through education, mentoring, and passion for a positive future. The voluntary members of Real Talk Youth Impact Program share their real-life “stories” with at-risk youth in the hope that those listening will make better choices. Los Vaqueros provides funding for certain participants in the program to receive sponsorships for youth activities.
H2O Grow aims to educate students, nurture healthier lifestyles, and inspire communities by providing materials and instructional support for schools to create hydroponic gardens. The gardens offer a unique, hands-on approach to learning that enriches STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math) education programs, fosters mentorship between schools and students, and enlightens kids about how food actually grows!
Los Vaqueros Las Vegas assisted with the building of Courtyard Wonders – a student garden featuring a desert plant habitat, fish pond, and vegetable garden. Students take pride in planting and caring for the garden with future plans of having a Farmer’s Market.
Over 93% of Lowman Elementary School’s students qualify for free or reduced lunch which means many students count on school-provided meals. Los Vaqueros generously arranges food deliveries from Three Square Food Bank twice a year so students can take home healthy food packages over the holiday breaks.
Los Vaqueros Las Vegas kicks off the school year with a Back to School Shoe Giveaway for 200-300 students in grades K-5 at Lowman Elementary School. Last year Los Vaqueros Las Vegas partnered with the Goodie Two Shoes Foundation to give students a new pair of shoes, socks, a backpack, and school supplies.
Through our support of Candlelighters, Los Vaqueros reaches out to support families of children with cancer. Los Vaqueros donated gifts to the Annual Family Picnic, provided a wonderful Christmas through the adopt-a-family program and looks forward to continued support of the Candlelighters’ families in the years ahead.
Los Vaqueros members provide the “extra hands” to assist Junior League with various community service projects throughout the year. Helping build a new playground, filling food packs during the holidays and pitching in on Junior League projects throughout the year displays how working together to serve the community can achieve even greater results.
Los Vaqueros Las Vegas cares about the needs of our members and the community-at-large. Throughout the year we support our members and other projects that advance our mission to assist those experiencing hardships.
How do children of soldiers pass the time while a parent is deployed to war? They stay productive both in and out of school.
The Nevada National Guard Youth Programs provide positive activities and family events for children of military personnel deployed to war. Los Vaqueros Las Vegas supports these programs with an annual Christmas shopping day for Guard families and donations that help provide scholarships to the Boys State and Girls Auxiliary State Leadership programs. We are proud to support the men and women in our military who dedicate their lives to defending our country.
