Final Voting For Warrior Mascot

// February 16th, 2010 // 6 Comments » // Campus Issues, In The News, Mascot, Only At Pueblo, School News

Student Council is moving forward with a final vote for our mascot.

Just to be clear, we will remain the Pueblo Warriors. We are voting for a mascot to represent us at sporting events and other school functions. For example, the Phoenix Suns have a Gorilla and the Arizona Diamondbacks have a Bobcat as mascots at their sporting events. Neither of their mascots have anything in common with their official team names. They are just cool! That’s what Student Council is trying to accomplish.

The final choices chosen by the students are:

• Warrior Wolf
• Warrior Puma
• Warrior Dragon

These are the top three choices that will be altered with PUEBLO COLORS

The voting will take place in the Pueblo Auditorium lobby on Thursday, February 18 and Friday, February 19 from 2:30-6:00 p.m. Teachers, coaches, alumni, staff members and students can vote once.

Student Council appreciates your support for what they feel simulates a real election. Make your vote count!

Thank you for your participation!

Pat’s Place Is Open For Business

// February 12th, 2010 // No Comments » // CTE, Clubs, Only At Pueblo, Spirit

The CTE program has opened a store that will serve the student body with school supplies, spirit items & healthy snacks. They will also sell school shirts and other items designed and made by our very own Graphic Arts Department.

The store will be called Pat’s Place in honor of Patricia Dienz, who is leaving Pueblo after being named Director of High Schools in TUSD.

Many students attended the ribbon cutting ceremony this morning. Patricia was in tears as she told the students how grateful she was for this honor.

Pat’s Place is a work in progress and has been curriculum based since the very beginning. The Business students created a business plan/proposal which was submitted to administration. In order for a student to work in the store they will need to fill out a job application and go through an interview process.

The store will be open from 7:15 a.m. – 2:45 p.m. and it’s located between rooms 172 & 173. Food items will not be sold during lunch periods.

As part of a counselor outreach program, they recently served breakfast on 3 occasions for about 60 guests. They would prepare a menu for each session and purchase ingredients accordingly. Cooking would begin before sunrise at 6:00 a.m. in order to have food ready for our guests.

On this occasion the menu included: chilaquiles topped with queso fresco, scrambled eggs with nopalitos, frijoles, tortillas and a chilled glass of orange juice or coffee.

We look forward to more events hosted by these students as they move forward towards their career as Chefs.

SpadeFoot Phenomenom At Pueblo

// September 22nd, 2009 // No Comments » // Campus Issues, Educational, Only At Pueblo, Yearly Events

During the summer monsoon season, something extraordinary happens in the southwest corner of Farber Field. The pounding of rain drops serves as a wake up call to some interesting creatures that it’s time to resurface from their subterranean homes to breed.  They are Coach’s Spadefoot Toads and Pueblo is their home.

Although we did not see the toads breeding, we were able to capture the thousands of eggs they left behind. They look like flowers, but instead of petals, they are full of eggs.

Eggs left behind by Spadefoot toads were scattered everywhere

It doesn’t take long for eggs to become tadpoles, usually about 15hrs. The very next day the pond was full of life and this is what it looked like:

Sadly, we saw fewer and fewer tadpoles every time we visited the pond after that. It takes about two weeks and a strong will for a tadpole to mature into a young frog. Of the thousands of eggs that started, very few survived, as many simply died and others were eaten by birds.

It also didn’t help that it hardly rained during the subsequent days. Mr. Michael Smith, a Biology Teacher at Pueblo, had to drag water hoses to fill in the pond. He really went out of his way to help these amphibians survive. Kudos to him.

In the end we did not see any young frogs jumping around, but it sure was an interesting phenomenon to witness. One that we hope will continue happening at Pueblo every summer for years to come.
