Alexandra Zapruder Visits Pueblo

As part of a collaboration with the Jewish Federation of Southern Arizona, students had the opportunity to participate in a Q & A with author, film-writer and educator Alexandra Zapruder.

I’m Still Here, an MTV film based on her book Salvaged Pages was screened in the auditorium for our students. Here’s the movie trailer of the film:

The following day, students were able to share their thoughts on the film with Alexandra. Many had interesting questions and perspectives regarding the diaries written by youth Holocaust survivors.

This presentation was an excellent learning opportunity for our students. We want to thank Alexandra for coming and Bryan Davis, Youth and Holocaust Education Coordinator, for making it possible.

Biotech Students Learn Sterile Technique

Sam Gomez of the Tucson Medical Center stopped by Pueblo to provide some hands on training on sterile technique to some of our Biotechnology students.

In sterile technique, only sterile surfaces touch other sterile surfaces and exposure to the air is kept to a minimum.

Sterile Technique Training — Tricia & Michael practice how to put gloves on practicing sterile technique

Tricia Hindley and Michael Dedrick need to learn this technique for their upcoming Biotechnology competition for HOSA. We’ll keep you updated on how they do.

We are so appreciative of Mr. Gomez’s expertise and commitment to our students.

Borderlands Collaboration Play

Borderlands Theater produced a play using the voices of youth throughout Tucson and a number of our Pueblo Students participated in workshops to contribute to this theater piece.

Pueblo was the first to preview the play and about 6 classes attended. After the conclusion of the play, the actors conducted a Q & A with the students. The actors stressed to everyone with an interest in theater to get involved with some Tucson Theater Groups.
