Cris,
Thank you so much for sharing the news and the You Tube piece. You deserve the award, the recognition, and you should totally enjoy every ounce of sweet Pueblo Pride that you have won. Big congrats, great affection–Vera Pfeuffer
Congratulations, Cris! Your students have always raved about your true dedication to the craft of teaching. Spend the $100 well!!! (I really think that YOU should have received the $1000–and the school kept the Benjaman.)
WOW!MR. Santa Cruz, you totally deserve it! Congratulations!! I was a former student of Pueblo and yours, you probably don’t remember me, I was class of 06′! but you surely are a great teacher! Congratulations once again and Good luck in everything you do!!
Hey Santa Cruz. Well I know it’s a little late, but I was very excited when I heard you won this award(I just didn’t want it to get to your head haha lol.) Really though, you are a great teacher, by far one of the best i’ve had and i am very proud to be part of you class. CONGRATULATIONS!!!=)
You deserve it all the way. You don’t know how much you’ve impacted all your students, I’m one of your past students and I still remember the long hours of DBQ studying and multiple choice. In one way or another we’ve all taken with us a piece of your class and cherish it. Your silliness, positive attitude and very persistant personality has given us all the chance to find a little piece of ourselves. You are truly inspirational and it is about time you recieve this award…keep up the magnificant work. You deserve this and so much more.
Congrats Mr. Santa Cruz, this award is well deserve, to me you are the only teacher that made me like history i believe that this is something you should of got a long time ago.
Cuddles!!!!!
omg! I am so proud of you. I will never forget you, or your class, especially since it was the first class that made me realize that sometime you HAVE to work for what you want!! (I know, I know.. spoiled brat!) But I just want to thank you along with all of the other hundreds of students who probably thank you all the time, you truly are amazing and I don’t know what I would have done without you in my high school experience?

I don’t know who you are, but I thank you for your words. You truly learned what I was trying to teach. Cuddles
Hey Princess,
this is to bring you back to reality.
“You’re getting chunky!”
Thank you, Cuddles
Stop wasting time with these “simplezas” and study for your upcoming DBQ. Cuddles
