Journalism Revives Mascot Issue

// September 25th, 2009 // 13 Comments » // Campus Issues, School Tradition

Journalism class joins forces with Student Council to settle the lack of a mascot issue once and for all. Here’s their official statement:

We at El Guerrero (School Newspaper) are helping Student Council finalize a mascot for Pueblo High School. As you know, our school has not had a definitive mascot for nearly 15 years. We are taking suggestions at this time for your ideas for the next mascot. We will remain Warriors, however, we need a mascot to represent our school at sporting events and other school-related activities.

Journalism students hand out ballots during both lunches

Student Council has some ideas, but are asking for any other suggestions. Leave a comment below if you have one. The results will be gathered and the top suggestions will go to a student body vote.

Some suggestions: thunder bolt, puma, roadrunner, coyote, wolf and cactus.

Earth Day 2010

// April 22nd, 2009 // No Comments » // School News, School Tradition, Yearly Events

Pueblo celebrates Earth Day by taking action:

• Mrs. Jennie Elrod decided to make an “Earth Day resolution” every year. This year, starting today, I am going to bike to school one day a week to help reduce my impact on climate change. Wish me luck!
• PE classes running the mile fun-run outdoors
• Mr. Lorin Labardee not using lights all day
• Mrs. Jennifer Sprung doing the following:
• Classroom lights off all day long to save energy-wear my Be Green Shirt and do activities with students.
• Bell work/writing activity -students think about and write- 1. What are problems for Earth now and in the future? 2. What can people do to help? 3. List 5 or more simple things you WILL personally commit to try and do to make a difference for the Earth.
• Play music and video from youtube to celebrate Earth day as students think and write- EARTH DAY song, Climate Change song, “where are we going to go”, others
• All students share after bellwork activity as a whole group-new responses added to student notes
• Show video segment titled GLOBAL WARMING cartoon -talk briefly about video “An Inconvenient Truth”-discuss importance, purpose, impact
• Introduce importance of RECYCLING in Tucson-poll students-how many really use their Blue bin-show Tucson Recycles video-BlueBin101-to educate all on how and what to recycle!  Students write down 5 new concepts/ points of learning from video-questions and answers
• Show realia (examples) of various recycleables ( steel, aluminum, cardboard, plastic bottles, containers, lids)-pass around room- review Plastic codes 1,2,4 to recycle-3,5,6,7-not recycleable now-why…review the universal recycle symbol-3 arrows and 3 R’s-what do they stand for?
• Pass along flyers and magnets from City of Tucson on Recycling
• Talk about most polluted populous cities and why… What about Tucson in the future? Compare LA, Mexico City, Salt Lake City, Denver, Phoenix…then show brief video-”Clear the Air “about Chicagoland in the summer and ground level ozone… students record 1. effects of groundlevel ozone, 2. how to reduce problem?
• Quick quiz at end of class- prizes given for correct answers-reusable shopping bags, magnets, keychains, pencils, 5 minute shower timer, super water saver fans, Earth Day bubbles, etc.
• “Earth Day Every Day” and “Everyone can do their part” points to get across to all students in classes today!
• The Environmental Biology classes have planted 21 Mesquite Trees and 21 Octopus Agave at the North end of the ESC (Environmental Study Center). We also are maintaining a beautiful Science Garden with several unusual plants and trees, by the Chemistry Wing. The view of the garden from the Chemistry Wing window is quite nice and can relieve symptoms of Pueblo Stress.
• Thanks to Mr. De Weerdt’s help, we have been able to save the Spadefoot Pond by the Tennis Courts from being buried by the Groundskeepers. We need to think of the least of the Pueblo denizens too.
• Teachers & Staff wear Earth Day Shirts
• Pueblo Student Portal goes green
• Canon Copy Machine will not be used for the day

Staff wear Be Green T-Shirts during Earth Day

Do your part today!

Many enjoyed the live music and dance all night

Pueblo opened its doors to the community as we celebrated our annual Fiesta De Los Guerreros. Many clubs participated by providing food, drinks and desserts to the multitude of people that attended. The entertainment schedule included a Car Show, Mariachis, Hip Hop Dance Groups and Live Music! The Senior class held a school dance on the orange tree corridor on the eastside of the school.

At around 10:00 p.m. the Rey y Reyna de la Fiesta were announced. Ivan De La Torre and Marine Armenta were the winners. Principe and Princesa went to Roque Vasquez and Selene Rebolledo.

Selene, Roque, Ivan & Marine all smiles

Thank you for attending and we’ll see you next year.
