PAISANO POST ‑‑ from Terlingua CSD. Congratulations to the UIL Academic Competitors at the Fort Davis Meet on March 24th. These students competed against Fort Davis, Marfa, Balmorhea, Valentine, Sierra Blanca, Dell City, and Van Horn. Earning District Champion Teams: Science-Griffin, Isis, Kendyl, David, and Anthony; Computer Science-Kaycie, Isaiah, Tony, and Deven; Social Studies-Chase, Kendyl, Caitlin, Deven, and Tony; Spelling-Shyla, Jennifer C., and Caitlin. Individual Regional Qualifiers: Mathematics-Griffin, Current Issues & Events-Chase, and Number Sense-Kendyl.
Last Friday 3/24/23, the Terlingua CSD robotics team, 11720 - Purobots, traveled to Belton, TX to compete in the UIL State robotics competition. They competed against twenty-three 1A to 4A schools in their division. At the end of the day the Purobots placed 10th among those teams. The semi-finals competition is played among the top 4 teams that get to pick two robots from the remaining field to be their alliance partners. The first place team, Dimmit (3A) picked Muleshoe (3A) and the Purobots (1A) for their final alliance. The Purobots played the 2nd match and won, 179 - 162, which advanced our alliance teams to the Finals! The students took home a 2nd place trophy and silver medals. Congratulations to Seniors: Ethan Ramirez and Giselle Hernandez; Juniors: Laila Salido, Severino Alday Franco, Jen Orozco, and Romina Rodriguez; Sophomores: Brooke Jenks, Luna Barrett, Rigo Guevara and Evan Clark. The Purobots are coached by Mr. Brad Anthenat.
It has been quite a ride for the robotics team this year after losing their robotics lab to fire a week before the regional competition, regrouping and then medaling at state. The Purobots like to thank our wonderful community for all the support and donations before and after the fire. The t-shirt fundraiser was a success raising over $1,500. Area schools, individuals, and businesses donated money, parts, and tools stepping in to help when it was very needed. Terlingua can not be any prouder of our students and our community, sharing in the success of the Purobots.

"Spring drew on...and a greenness grew over those brown beds, which, freshening daily, suggested the thought that Hope traversed them at night, and left each morning brighter traces of her steps." — Charlotte Brontë
FUNDRAISER AT HIGH SIERRA TODAY
Today is the BIG Day!!!!! 4:00 p.m.!! Please come to the High Sierra Bar and Grill and help us raise funds for Medic Outpost to buy community defibrillators and provide training to the community volunteers! We have a different band playing every hour starting at 4 with Butch and Rory Hancock, 5 - Hank Woji, 6 - Wayward Gypsies, 7- The Moonshiners, 8 - Terry Houghton. Lots of vendors, food, drinks, a silent auction and a raffle with AWESOME items! Sneak preview of some of the items: Golf packages, jeep tours, horseback riding, river day trips, Airbnb stays, tons of handmade and hand painted items, a barrel of tequila (yes you read that right), massage and acupuncture gift certificates…and SO much more! It’s going to be a super fun event! We hope the whole community shows up for this one!
GO PUROBOTS and PAISANOS!
Only a few days left to buy your limited edition 2023 Purobots T-Shirt! The Terlingua robotics students designed a T-shirt for their fundraiser/fire recovery. So far we have sold 46 t-shirts towards our goal of 100. Please share and thanks for all the support!
https://www.customink.com/fundraising/terlinguarobotics
The Paisanos would like to thank our community for the truly inspiring and heartwarming support we received after the fire. The fire marshal concluded that the cause of the fire was undetermined, and there was no evidence that it was malicious or started intentionally. We would also like to again thank TFEMS, BBNP, and BCSO for the tremendous job they did in putting out the fire. Brewster County Roads and Bridges have generously given their time in assisting with the clean up. The district is currently working with our insurance, and the building will be replaced. The school is in the process of ordering all students' instruments that were lost in the fire with the donations that we have received. In the meantime, Mr. Anthenat and the band continue to practice getting ready for Fiesta and graduation. Many students are learning new instruments that have been donated while they await their replacements. The Purobots have qualified for the State UIL Robotics competition that will be held this Friday, 3/24/23 in Belton. Our kids had a plan in place to continue by 9:00 AM the day after the fire. The students were helped by their district competitors in El Paso as well as the UTEP engineering department prior to their regional competition on 2/25/23. Despite the challenges, this is the first group from TCSD to qualify for the State competition, and we couldn't be prouder. When their season is over, they will begin the process of ordering the parts and tools that were lost. Thank you for all of your support and rallying around the kids when we most needed it.
The UIL District 9 Academic Competition will be held at Fort Davis HS on March 24th. Sixteen high school students are representing our school in various competitions including: Spelling & Vocabulary, Science, Social Studies, Current Issues & Events, Computer Science, Mathematics, Number Sense, and Calculator Applications. Good luck, Paisanos!

We have a different band playing every hour starting at 4 with Butch and Rory Hancock, 5 - Hank Woji, 6 - Wayward Gypsies, 7- The Moonshiners, 8 - Terry Houghton. Lots of vendors, food, drinks, a silent auction and a raffle with AWESOME items!

GO PUROBOTS and PAISANOS!
Only a few days left to buy your limited edition 2023 Purobots T-Shirt! The Terlingua robotics students designed a T-shirt for their fundraiser/fire recovery. So far we have sold 46 t-shirts towards our goal of 100. Please share and thanks for all the support!
https://www.customink.com/fundraising/terlinguarobotics
The Paisanos would like to thank our community for the truly inspiring and heartwarming support we received after the fire. The fire marshal concluded that the cause of the fire was undetermined, and there was no evidence that it was malicious or started intentionally. We would also like to again thank TFEMS, BBNP, and BCSO for the tremendous job they did in putting out the fire. Brewster County Roads and Bridges have generously given their time in assisting with the clean up. The district is currently working with our insurance, and the building will be replaced. The school is in the process of ordering all students' instruments that were lost in the fire with the donations that we have received. In the meantime, Mr. Anthenat and the band continue to practice getting ready for Fiesta and graduation. Many students are learning new instruments that have been donated while they await their replacements. The Purobots have qualified for the State UIL Robotics competition that will be held this Friday, 3/24/23 in Belton. Our kids had a plan in place to continue by 9:00 AM the day after the fire. The students were helped by their district competitors in El Paso as well as the UTEP engineering department prior to their regional competition on 2/25/23. Despite the challenges, this is the first group from TCSD to qualify for the State competition, and we couldn't be prouder. When their season is over, they will begin the process of ordering the parts and tools that were lost. Thank you for all of your support and rallying around the kids when we most needed it.
The UIL District 9 Academic Competition will be held at Fort Davis HS on March 24th. Sixteen high school students are representing our school in various competitions including: Spelling & Vocabulary, Science, Social Studies, Current Issues & Events, Computer Science, Mathematics, Number Sense, and Calculator Applications. Good luck, Paisanos!
Don't miss the opportunity to apply for an RGEC Scholarship. Vocational and trade school students are eligible, too! Visit www.riogrande.coop/community/scholarships/ to apply.
