🤖 ROBOTICS SEASON IS OFFICIALLY UNDERWAY! 🤖
Our Colorado City Robotics teams kicked off their season on Saturday, and they represented Wolf Nation with skill, teamwork, and true engineering grit!

Each of our three teams competed in five matches, winning three and dropping two. Because competitions use rotating alliances, our students teamed up with schools from Midland, San Angelo, and Odessa, and our robots held strong with zero breakdowns throughout the day!

Coach Sowa shared how proud he was watching our students strategize, problem-solve, collaborate, and even repair and improve their robots under pressure. That’s the heart of STEM in action! 🔧⚙️✨

Here’s where our teams stand in the West Texas League (1A–5A, private, homeschool & public schools):

🐾 C-City Cubs – Ranked #14
Team Members: Autumn Diaz, Devyn Gonzales, Kimberly Cruz, Jacklyn McCain, Carolann Walthall

🐾 Alpha Wolves – Ranked #12
Team Members: Gavin Harbour, Kale Ostrander, Addison Hinson, Noah Rivera, James Garza, Evan Vanderslice, Michael Alvarado

🐾 C-City Wolves – Ranked #8
Team Members: Jax Quiroz, Jaime Madrid, Lance Smith, Colby Wright, Angle Cortez, Les Paul Gomez

Coach Sowa said it best:

“I am very proud of the way the teams represented Colorado City by working together with every alliance partner. They took charge, strategized, fixed what needed fixing, and handled the pressure exceptionally well. Their rankings will continue to rise as the season progresses.”

Way to go, Robotics teams, you’re building more than robots… you’re building EXCELLENCE! 🔥🐺

🏟️ Business Professionals of America (BPA) Field Trip! 🏟️

Today our BPA members had the amazing opportunity to tour AT&T Stadium, home of the Dallas Cowboys! We went behind the scenes to explore the business and marketing aspects that keep such a large organization running successfully. Students learned about branding, operations, and the teamwork it takes to manage a major sports facility.

Students also had the chance to visit with colleges from other states, learning about their programs and opportunities, and of course, grabbing some great college swag along the way! 🎓

We wrapped up our day with a stop at Buc-ee’s, where students saw how a successful business operates and how creative marketing helps build a strong brand.

A huge thank you to everyone who helped make this trip possible and allowed our students to learn through real-world experiences! 💼✨

📚✨ A Familiar Face at the PEP Conference! ✨📚

Mrs. Pinkerton and Dr. Polk caught up with Thomas C. Murray, best-selling author of Personal & Authentic, at the PEP Conference – Leading With Intention! 🙌

He previously inspired our staff as the keynote speaker at Convocation 2023, and it was great to reconnect and continue learning from his message on purposeful, authentic leadership in education. 🐺

📢 Attention CHS Parents and Guardians:

Just a reminder that CHS is an open campus for Juniors and Seniors only during lunch.

Freshmen and Sophomores may leave only with parent or guardian permission, which must be given each day.

Please call the office before lunchtime to give permission for your student to leave campus. This helps us keep accurate documentation and ensure the safety and accountability of all students.

Thank you for your cooperation and support! 🐺
