Programs: Sixth Grade Funding at EJ Martinez Elementary School Insert Image Working... My Albums Page of 4 Prev Next Please select an image. Basic Needs Ensuring that every child's basic needs are met is the key to success in our schools. 66% of children in the Santa Fe Public Schools qualify for free and reduced lunch. 24% of children (school age) live in poverty in Santa Fe. Principals, teachers and counselors work to provide the basics including clothing (school uniforms, socks, warm coats) as well as nutritious snacks to students to support a healthy learning environment. When basic needs are met, it puts kids on the right track for learning. More Programs Enrichment & Extracurricular Enrichment is the successful component in a child's education. Programs both inside and outside the classroom provide rich educational opportunities and help make learning fun. After School Programs in our schools help to support the needs of our Santa Fe families. With programs ranging from the arts to history to technology, and everything in between, these programs help with a child's curiosity, discovery and ultimately help foster a love of learning.
