Through a grant provided by the Las Cruces Public Schools Foundation, Arrowhead Park Early College High School establishes its own student publishing house with Letters to a Young Freshman as its first project. The project, "APECHS Pays It Forward: Advice for Life," grew out of classroom readings of Ranier Maria Rilke's Letters to a Young Poet. Using Rilke's wise words and philosophy as a guide, students developed letters and essays that offer advice to new students coming into APECHS. The advice offered in the enclosed letters and essays apply not only to new Trailblazers entering APECHS, but also apply to personal growth and development as human beings, becoming participants in the examined life.
