Knott's Berry Farm Trip 2010!
Alta Vista High School is a special place for many reasons.
One of those reasons is the opportunity to have a trip to Knott's Berry Farm if you have perfect attendance throughout the school year. Over 90 students accomplished this goal this year. Here are some photos of this exciting annual trip. Thanks to AnJeanine Lopez for the photos! Nice job!

2 Weeks Left! Stay Focused!
With the school year coming to a fast close, here are some things to consider:
1. Stay Focused! The end of the year celebration known as graduation is fast approaching. However, we still have two weeks left. Don't take an early vacation on me.
2. Do what is asked of you at all times! Don't jeopardize your chance to graduate because of a lapse in judgment (I.D., dress code, behavior, etc).
3. Make sure you are at zero balance in the business office! Make sure all bills or outstanding debts (uniforms, books, etc) are taken care of.
4. Make up any seat time you may need! If you are at the maximum of absences or tardies so far, see Mrs. Garcia immediately for a seat time log. This is the final week to make up that time!
5. Study for Final Exams! Hopefully all of the seniors will not be affected by a final exam grade. However, if you are barely getting by with the minimum, then study for your final exams. Don't leave anything to chance!
Go Lobos!

Alta Vista Wins Award at Tucson Rodeo Parade!
Alta Vista High School's entry into the 2010 Tucson Rodeo parade was an award winner!
We were the only high school to win an award at the biggest non-mechanized parade in North America. Our participants were members of our extra-curricular activities on campus (Volleyball, Soccer, Basketball, Cheerleading). However, those students who were chosen are also members of our National Honor Society Chapter, Student Government, Prom Committee, Yearbook Committee, and Honor Roll. They represented Alta Vista High School with grace, pride, and a ton of Lobo Spirit!
A big "Lobo" thank you goes out to Maribel Hernandez for organizing this event! Great Job and Go Lobos!!

Declaration of Independence 'broadside' arrives in Tucson
On July 4, 1776, the Continental Congress made official the Declaration of Independence. The manuscript was taken to a printer, who made 200 copies. These are called “broadsides.” Some of the 200 broadsides were delivered to the nation’s founders next day. Other copies were sent by horseback throughout the colonies so that everyone could learn what had been done. Only 25 of these broadsides are still in existence today, and one will be in Tucson at the Arizona History Museum Sunday and Monday. (A broadside is about the size of a full newspaper sheet, printed on one or both sides, and it has been folded.)
This broadside was found inside of a painting that was sold at a flea-market for $4. Hollywood icon Norman Lear purchased this copy for over $8 million and is now on tour for all to witness.
The Declaration was closely guarded by the Arizona Rangers (a volunteer group who work in conjunction with law enforcement and are appointed by the Governor). Also in attendance were members of the Sons of the American Revolution who dress in period outfits complete with muskets.
A real treat all around! Today brings into great focus why we are free and why it is important to remember. It is vital to teach those who take their freedoms for granted that a heavy price has been, and continues to be, paid for the collective citizenry.

Finish How You Start! Lobos Win 53-46!
Congratulations to the Alta Vista High School Lobo Basketball team on their undefeated maiden voyage in the Arizona Interscholastic Association. The Lobos defeated Bella Vista High School 53-46 last night at their Kino Center home finale.
Seniors Juan Pablo De La Rosa, Carlos Carreon, and Glenn Brockman were recognized for their contributions to the Lobo Baskeball program.
Angel Martinez continued his torrid scoring pace with 28 points. Juan Pablo De La Rosa added 11 and Miguel Maldonado hit from outside to add 7 to the Lobo's cause. Shaheed Clemens, Carlos Carreon, Milton Hernandez and Frank Leon also contributed with a bucket each.
The Lobos would like to say thank you to everyone who attended their games and showed their Lobo Pride at every turn.
We would also like to thank our "Home Court" Kino Center and the entire crew who give a great place to practice and play our home games!
Coach Rod would like to thank the entire team and support staff of Valeria Romero, Coach Ed Garrett, Coach Jackson, and the entire Alta Vista administration and community for giving him the opportunity to do what he loves best: teaching and coaching young people in the game of life.
It is a great day to be a Lobo!
Thank you and here's to next season!!!!
