To the Texico and Farwell communities:
Early this morning two students passed away and another Farwell student is struggling in the hospital.
Tomorrow, Monday, March 9, at 8 a.m. Texas time (7 a.m. NM time) the First Baptist Church of Farwell will be hosting a breakfast for the Middle School and High School students of both towns.
There will be counselors, pastors, and representatives of the Fellowship of Christian Athletes at the meal.

Folks from the community can bake breakfast items and drop them off before the event begins. We are asking them to drop items off in disposable plates before 7 a.m. Texas time so we can keep the focus on healing for the students.
