Rodeo season is over for the year…well at least for the next 6 months!

 

Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo results for 2008 include:

 

Victor Guajardo – 6th place out of 15 in his class with his Heifer

 

Victor Guajardo and Josh Solis both caught in the Calf Scramble on March 14th and were both awarded $1,250 towards the purchase of a new heifer to be raised throughout the year and shown at the 2009 Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo.


Congratulations to Mario Reyna and Jaime Lira!  They recently won awards in the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo Quick Draw competition.  Just their being selected to compete in the contest, which took only fifty entrants from a contestant pool of over 460 entrants, is worth congratulations; but both students also placed in the competition.  The students competed in the Still Life division of the Quick Draw contest.  The contest required the students to create their best drawing, while at the rodeo, and within a fifty minute time frame.  Mario took home a third place win and Jaime won Class Champion (that is “First Place” in non-rodeo speak!).  Great job guys!  Your talent makes PHS and PISD shine! 

Remember:  If you plan to attend the rodeo, be sure to visit the Hayloft Gallery where you will see their art on display


Congratulations to the following students from the
“Class of 2008”

Over the past weekend our BEST (Boosting Engineering Science and Technology) Robotics team participated in the Space City Tournament at Galena Park High School.

An extremely good field and some minor problems prevented our robot from achieving a winning position in the competition, but our team did win first place in the Space City Safety Award. This is the first year this award has been given and its presence shows this organization’s commitment to safe operation in the same manner that industry and schools stress safe working conditions and practices.

Our next formal competition will be the FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) Robotics competition. This is the major robotics event of the year and will begin the building period the first weekend of 2008. Any student with a good discipline record and a desire to participate is encouraged to join this organization composed of professional engineers and craftsmen from various area industries and teachers and students from all PISD high schools.
