Anticipation, excitement and school pride filled the halls of\u00a0Pueblo during Spirit Week, which began on Monday, September 21\u2014and progressed to Pueblo\u2019s homecoming night on Friday, September 25.<\/p>\n

Our mighty Warriors showed their Pueblo Pride in the wide-spread participation of spirit week festivities. These included Slumber Party Day, Dynamic Duo Day, Disney Day, Tropical Day, and Straight Outta Pueblo Day. Throughout this week, there were many games during lunch in which each class was given the opportunity to gain spirit points.<\/p>\n

Our school\u2019s pride continued in the Lever Gym for the first spirit assembly of the year.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe assembly was great, all four of the classes really brought their school spirit,\u201d said senior Kevin Valdez.<\/p>\n

After extensive recognition of clubs and academic success around campus, the winners of the spirit assembly were determined. The seniors seized the victory.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe assembly was different from the others because everyone actually participated,\u201d said senior Candelaria Guerrero. \u201cEven the freshmen were trying to win.\u201d<\/p>\n

The day came to a beautiful end as the homecoming game approached. Clubs lined up with different items to sell in order to raise money at our annual Homecoming Tailgate Party. The bleachers filled up with anxious spectators who waited for the football game to begin.<\/p>\n

Pueblo Magnet High School hosted its jubilant 60th<\/sup>\u00a0Anniversary of its homecoming football game on Friday, September \u00a025, 2015. The Warrior football team\u2019s homecoming victory over the Douglas Bulldogs, with a final score of 48-0, was perhaps the team\u2019s most dramatic win on homecoming night in many years.<\/p>\n

Warrior Football dominated the entire game.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The Warriors dominated the football game throughout the evening and refused to let the Bulldogs score even once! Pueblo\u2019s very own senior Justin Pledger received Jack in the Box Player of the Week for KVOA Channel 4<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe played more as a team against Douglas, and we are coming together as a family,\u201d Pledger said. “I feel like I’m contributing to the team and doing my best to take us to the playoffs.”<\/p>\n

There were plenty of homecoming tailgate activities that Pueblo clubs offered. There was a variety of food choices and games throughout the night from which students and alumni could choose.<\/p>\n

\u201cHomecoming was a major success!\u201d exclaimed senior Bernadette Romero, \u201cIt was super fun to raise money for our clubs, and it was great to see our football team experience such a victorious win!\u201d<\/p>\n

During halftime of the football game, our fall 2015 homecoming king and queen of Pueblo Magnet High School were crowned: Emmanuel Buelna and Daniella Contreras.<\/p>\n

Homecoming King Emmanuel Buelna said, \u201cI\u2019m humbled by the votes that I received from my fellow peers in my senior class. I was genuinely surprised that I was crowned king!\u201d<\/p>\n

Homecoming Queen Daniella Contreras said, \u201cI was shocked that I won! This was the first time that I did something out of character. I\u2019m shy, and I broke out of my shell during campaign week.\u201d She added, \u201cI usually stay away from big crowds, but this experience allowed me to gain a lot of new friends.\u201d<\/p>\n

We can’t wait for Homecoming Night 2016!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
