Construction projects in the gym prevented the assembly from being inside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Student Council President Marina Martinez said, \u201cThe wind made it hard to decorate, and having the assembly indoors would have been better. Usually the weather is beautiful in February. Unfortunately, we can\u2019t predict the future when planning assemblies.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The assembly was initiated by senior Gabriel Aguayo playing the National Anthem on his trumpet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI was very excited to play [at the assembly], although I was a bit nervous,\u201d Aguayo said. \u201cHowever, the hype from everybody inspired me to be my best and ended up sounding amazing.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Throughout the assembly, winter sports were highlighted, and two games of \u201cmusical chairs\u201d were played between each class, which helped students focus on school spirit instead of the windy, cold weather.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>STUCO President Martinez said, \u201cEverything ended up turning out great, and we hope we can generate even more school spirit at the next assembly.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Student Council representatives kept their class enthused, and in the end, the senior class of 2023 retained the \u201cspirit stick\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cMy seniors really showed a lot of energy, excitement and pride for their class,\u201d said senior Mia Rodriguez. \u201cWe were all serious about keeping the spirit stick.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The assembly was curtailed about 15 minutes, and this disappointed a lot of students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe didn\u2019t want to go into \u2018overtime\u2019 again,\u201d said Martinez, \u201cso the assembly ended long before it should have. Next time, we\u2019ll need to come up with a \u2018Plan B\u2019 to fill the entire assembly time.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite the bad weather and challenges with the assembly, students were still elated that they had a chance to show their Warrior spirit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe energy and excitement at the assembly was one of a kind,\u201d said senior Mason Weisbrook. \u201cI\u2019ll never forget the chalk and baby powder and all of the seniors\u2019 chants. We made the most of a rough situation [the weather] by having the assembly outside.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pueblo students look forward to the next assembly to commemorate the springs sports programs, which will be held sometime in April, according to Martinez. This final assembly will also celebrate the seniors, who will be just weeks away from graduating.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Victoria Cazares Pueblo High School\u2019s second assembly of this school year, hosted on Feb. 17 on the football field, focused primarily on the successes of winter sports and generating school spirit for the triumphant programs this season.
