As students at Pueblo West High School, we are required to take a history class for three years in order to graduate. But what if, instead of just studying history from a textbook, you were able to experience it in 3-D—or even live it? Lindsey Moore is hosting a trip to the nation’s capital with a company called World Strides; an educational program that works with organizing school trips. The trip will be from January 18—January 22, 2013 and includes seeing key sights such as Mount Vernon (the home of George Washington), The Smithsonian, the National Archives, Ford’s Theater (the theater where the Lincoln Assassination took place), the World War II Memorial, the Vietnam Wall, and Arlington National Cemetery, as well as various other memorials and monuments. However, this trip is special because it allows students to experience an once-in-a-lifetime opportunity—the 2013 presidential inauguration. The participants would witness first-hand the Read the Rest »

So that leaves me with two very conflicting conclusions: Americans are fat because they are content. Americans are depressed because they are fat. This country cannot keep telling Americans how great they are and then immediately criticize them for being obese. Nothing will ever change. Seventeen Magazine has a fitness section right next to their “Body Peace Pledge.” How are teenage girls supposed to have body peace if there is a headline two pages away promoting the “best butt ever”? There is nothing wrong with either of Seventeen’s ideas. In fact, a fitness Read the Rest »
The school board recently decided to replace the current Dell laptops with Apple’s Macbook Airs for the 2012-2013 school year. Much different than the Dell laptops, the Macbook Airs will give students a lighter load in the hallway. ER supervisor Matisha Shelman said “Macbooks are smaller in size, lighter, and thinner.” Also, the new computers have several more capabilities. “They have faster processors, more memory, bigger hard drives, and they are running Mac OS 10 Lion,” she says. ER student Bryce Gray thinks the new computers will not have as many issues as the Dells. “We’re not going to have as many problems. I think the Macs are more user-friendly,” he says. His only concern is that “basically students don’t know how to use the new software.” Shelman thinks the transition will change her duties in the ER, commenting, “It’s going to pose some new challenges.” She went on to say that Read the Rest »
