Parent Teacher Conferences were held on Tuesday night. About 200 parents showed up to meet with teachers and discuss their child’s academic progress. Third quarter progress grades were recently mailed home.
Some Disc Jockeys from Hot 98.3 stopped by the radio station to see our students and get a tour of our studios. D-Wayne Chavez, DJ Pablo & Hospe did some interviews, took some pictures and even did a live segment in our booth.
The Pueblo Radio and Amateur Astronomy Club is now full functioning. A website was developed to demonstrate their involvement in “slewing” professional telescopes in Norway, Puerto Rico, The Netherlands, New Mexico, Chile, Hawaii and Australia.
Jhovana Peralta, Yaritza Martinez-Cano, Marcus Nesbitt and Mylene Martinez are the “sky pioneers” at Pueblo. They will shortly begin taking images of faraway places and events. They have seen their first picture of a black hole consuming neighboring galaxies; how many of us will ever be able to say that?
In addition, NASA has sent links to recently-developed space websites that are all in Spanish! The club is communicating with the Universidad Tecnologica Autonoma de Mexico in Mexico City to create a sharing of space images and resources to help our students become better consumers of space and wireless technologies.
