A “Wish” Come True for Barissa and our CTECH construction students met the challenge!
In October 2022, Barissa Sky Stoker
was diagnosed with a pilocytic astrocytoma brain tumor in her occipital lobe. Since then, her journey has been one of strength, resilience, and hope. After undergoing three craniotomies in just a few months and facing challenges like left-sided weakness and speech loss, Barissa continues to fight bravely through physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, and chemotherapy. She has regular scans every three months, and even in June 2024, when her tumor showed growth, she hasn’t let that dim her light.🌟
Barissa had one special wish: a playhouse of her very own. And with the support of Hobbs Superintendent Gene Strickland, the incredible efforts of the CTECH Construction Students, Instructors and staff ,along with support from HMS Maintenance Staff and Make-A-Wish of New Mexico, her dream has officially come true!
Her playhouse isn’t just a structure—it’s a symbol of joy, imagination, and the community that surrounds her with love and support.
We are so proud of you, Barissa! Keep shining bright!! 🩷

HMS hosted a fun evening of learning for parents and their pre-K students about the importance of being your child's most important teacher by reading to them daily.
There are several benefits of reading to your children, whether it's a classic novel or fairytales before bed, reading aloud to children can significantly benefit your child's life.
Some of the benefits include:
Supporting cognitive development
Improving language skills
Preparing for academic success
Developing a special bond
Increased concentration, imagination, and creativity
And lastly, cultivating a lifelong love of reading!
