Molina Healthcare of New Mexico Partners with State Rep. Jenifer Jones to Support Back-to-School for Deming Students
Albuquerque, N.M., Aug. 27, 2024 – Molina Healthcare of New Mexico (“Molina”) and State Rep. Jenifer Jones (R-32) recently teamed up to support Deming Public Schools students as they head into the new school year.
In Deming, 26% of children under the age of 18 live in poverty. To support children returning to school and ensure every student is prepared with the proper supplies, Molina donated spiral notebooks, backpacks, packages of college ruled paper, and crayon packages. Rep. Jones made a matching monetary donation to Deming Public Schools to help purchase other back-to-school necessities.
“Education is a proven path to success for all children,” said Carolyn Ingram, plan president for Molina Healthcare of New Mexico. “Molina wants to provide school essentials to help ensure kids in our communities are well prepared so they can learn, grow, and succeed this school year.”
“Our young people are New Mexico’s future leaders,” said Rep. Jenifer Jones. “I’m grateful for the opportunity to partner with Molina Healthcare to help equip our DPS students with the school supplies needed for success.”
“Deming Public Schools extends its heartfelt gratitude to Molina Healthcare and Representative Jenifer Jones for their invaluable support,” said Vicki Chavez, superintendent for Deming Public Schools. “Their generous contributions of school supplies and financial resources will significantly enhance our ability to meet our students’ learning needs. By equipping our students with essential tools, this partnership plays a vital role in helping Deming Public Schools fulfill its mission of growing champions.”
