Pueblo Drone Flyby<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

On March 29, 2017, during 4th period (and first lunch for some), Pueblo\u2019s CTE Graphic and Web Design teacher, Mr. Ernesto Somoza, gathered all of the spring sports girls\u2019 teams\u2014including soccer, basketball, volleyball, softball (as well as Cheer)\u2014to celebrate their upcoming \u201cAIA Tony Komadina Award\u201d with a group picture.<\/p>\n

This picture was taken a little unusual; in fact, a drone snapped the picture in effort to \u201cstay in the current world,\u201d Somoza explained. \u201c[The drone] is a fairly new consumer product,\u201d he added. \u201cA year ago, the drone wasn\u2019t as prominent as now.\u201d<\/p>\n

Freshman (Class of 2020) Jacquelyn Gutierrez, a member of Cheer this season, was part of the crowd. \u00a0\u201cIt was exciting to be part of this event,\u201d Gutierrez said. \u201cI felt inclusive with Pueblo\u2014like I was a member of this great school, like I was really connected to the school. As a freshman, this is a great feeling because I think we all come into high school and feel a little left out. But, that\u2019s all changed now.\u201d<\/p>\n

Another freshman (Class of 2020) Alina Cuen, member of cheer, also took\u00a0part of the crowd photo\u00a0and\u00a0said, \u201cI felt special and proud to represent Pueblo. The drone was definitely a unique way to take our pictures. Mr. Somoza was brilliant to have thought of this approach.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sophia Shivers, a freshman (Class of 2020), was on this season\u2019s girls\u2019 JV basketball team said, \u201cEven though it was really hot that afternoon, I felt cool to represent Pueblo\u2019s girls\u2019 sports programs. \u00a0The drone was cool, too, and I think that this is how future group pictures should be taken.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sophomore (Class of 2019) Yazmin Almazan, a member of the girls\u2019 JV volleyball team this season, said that she felt a sense of unity with the other girls at Pueblo, and she loved the drone!<\/p>\n

\u201cThe drone took some very unique shots of us\u2014pictures that a person would never be able to take. I hope that the drone is used again to take more interesting pictures,\u201d Almazan said.<\/p>\n
