Twenty University of Arizona students from a class entitled “Race, Ethnicity, and the American Dream” visited the American History—Chicano Perspectives classes and did a number of activities with Pueblo students around racism and white privilege.
Afterward the students all discussed the potential impact of the ban of ethnic studies classes, which is supposed to go into effect on December 31.
Thank you to these U of A students for taking the time to visit our campus.
Honors Chemistry students were conducting an experiment involving mentos & diet soda to test the chemical reaction between the two. The result is a giant geyser of soda spewing from the 2 liter bottle. The questions is why?
Students love to conduct this experiment and the reaction on their faces is always the same. They tried different variables to see which produced the highest geyser. Check out the video:
This experiment was part of a training for these honors students by the University of Arizona. They will be tutoring other students in science.

On September 30th, with funding by GEAR UP, Pueblo High School was fortunate to have Stella Pope Duarte speak to junior and senior students.
Stella Pope Duarte is the author of Let Their Spirits Dance, If I Die in Juarez and her collection of short stories Fragile Night and Women Who Live In Coffee Shops and Other Stories.
Pope Duarte spoke to Yolanda Sotelo’s 4th period Latino literature class. The seniors who were in the process of reading Let Their Spirits Dance were thoroughly engrossed in her presentation to them about her novel. Pope Duarte then spoke to the juniors in Sally Rusk & Yolanda Sotelo’s ethnic studies classes, Ms. Mariscal’ s exception education students and other students during advisory about her writing process and her novel If I Die In Juarez. This is Stella Pope Duarte’s 3rd visit to Pueblo.
The students enjoy her because she is informative, inspirational, and entertaining and they especially enjoy reading her short stories and novels.
A raccoon was spotted in the Rose Garden next to the auditorium at Pueblo today. Many Warriors were curious to see the black, white and grey creature nap in the trees. Students used their mobile phones to snap pictures of our furry friend.
Pest Control was called to capture the raccoon and release it in his natural habitat. After several attempts to trap him, the raccoon clawed his way up a 50 foot palm tree were he is napping peacefully.
The pest control specialist said the raccoon would climb down on his own during the still of the night and head back where he came from.
Here’s a short video of a failed attempt to trap the raccoon and him running into another tree:
