PABLO –

Last Minute Low Budget Productions would like to tip our collective hat to our dear friend, Pablo Menudo, in taking to a greater stage.  Pablo was a fixture for our community theater adventures for well over a decade  - as construction volunteer, backstage crew, and who-could-ever forget - an on stage actor.  Best we can come up with, Pablo was on stage in at least ten different shows:

 

Summer Shorts 2007

The Foreigner

Shorts 2008

War of the Worlds

Ballad of the Sad Café 2009

Rumors

A Salute to Vaudeville 2011

Pecos Bill 2011

Reefer Madness 2016

Double Room 2017

 

We delighted in the time we spent with Pablo - so many stories!  We know his star from our stage, - now we watch for it in the sky.  

 

Well done, Terlingua!  There was a total of 46 residents that came for boosters today at the clinic provided by the TX National Guard out of El Paso. And 11 people came in for testing.

 

A big shout out to Espresso y Poco Mas and Mimi Webb Miller and her crew for once again providing breakfast for this team! And to Mague Garcia for helping translate for our Hispanic community! Nothing better than a community helping each other!

 

Paisano Post from Terlingua CSD   From Mrs. Mendoza:  Spanish Class Salsa Competition Results: 1st Place- Laila, 2nd Place- Rigoberto, 3rd Place- Gabriel. There were 13 entries total. Judges: Adam Daley, Brad Anthenat, Isael Rodriguez, Victor Garcia, Jennifer Contreras and Haziel Galindo.

From Mrs. Reed: The Juniors and Seniors enjoyed a visit from Sul Ross professor Jessie Kelsch who gave a presentation on the study of Geology.

From Mrs. Baumann: The sixth graders wrote to other sixth graders in the United States before Christmas break telling them about our school and community. One of the students has received letters from Olympia, Washington! The 7th grade has been experimenting with Slam or Performance poetry. They wrote poems then presented them to the class. After 3 rounds of performance, Bailee was declared the winner. The class is developing some very good poets.
