This is the first time a student group has been invited to perform for a senate meeting. The students received a standing ovation by all the senators. The House plans to extend an invitation in the future and the comments from everyone were of the highest compliment.

Stella Pope Duarte Makes Her Annual Visit To Pueblo

Stella Pope Duarte makes her annual visit to Pueblo

Stella Pope Duarte, author of Let Their Spirits Dance spoke at Pueblo High School on November 21st to the Senior Latino literature classes. Most writers charge a fee to talk about their novels but Pope Duarte does this because she enjoys speaking to young adults, but especially Pueblo High School students. 

She spoke to the seniors about her novels but specifically Let Their Spirits Dance since the seniors are currently reading it. She discussed the themes, the conflicts and the characterization in the novel and the process she went through in writing it.

Stella Pope Duarte writes,  “The students were FABULOUS! I absolutely loved presenting to them. They also pin-pointed some very important issues in the novel.  It is indeed an honor to write stories from our own heritage, stories of heart, soul, blood, and spirit.”

Pueblo students had the opportunity to see two performances from Break Down Tucson.

BreakDown is a team of young people who bring the powerful and dynamic message of hope and freedom to a generation of young people looking for the REAL thing. This fast-paced, high-energy performance, designed specifically for today’s digital generation, was created to break down the lies that our sexually saturated culture has been telling our youth for years!

This presentation tackles tough issues such as drugs and alcohol, rape, sexual abstinence until marriage, teen pregnancy, sexually transmitted diseases and HIV, second chances, unhealthy and abusive relationships, pornography, self-esteem, TRUE sexual freedom and much more.  BreakDown will shock, challenge, and inspire even the most skeptical teen.
