Shallowater
senior,
Wes
Jackson, not only put many
hours and hard work into his
Eagle Scout project, but he
put an abundance of heart
and soul into the project too.
Jackson felt led to create a
special and moving memorial
in front of Shallowater High
School recognizing and remembering two very special members of the Class of 2014, Loran Coats and Garrett Hacker.
Jackson states, “I’m not looking for gratitude in any way.
I just did something that I felt
needed to be done and I think
that God just added that little
extra encouragement of earning my Eagle at the same time.”
Jackson set out to begin his
project by acquiring approval
from the local Boy Scout council, and obtaining donations
to fulfill the projects funding.
Jackson was able to have
all parts of the project donated except for the rock
engraving, which he is
still raising money for.
Completing the project places
Jackson very close to obtaining his Eagle, but also serves
many purposes for the com-
munity and school. As the trees
grow, they will provide a shady
spot for students, but more
importantly, it will provide a
memorial of classmates lost.
The two trees planted are both
Cleveland-Select
Flowering
Pears, which will make a beautiful addition to the SHS campus.
Jackson hopes that the memorial will be a reflection for those
students leaving the SHS parking lot to drive safely. Jackson
states, “If the caution the memorial causes is enough to save
just one person, it will have
served more of a purpose than
I could ever have hoped for.”

Shallowater High School Student’s Brilliance, Hard Work Earns Trip To International Science Fair
PRIDE Journalist *Zeke Kollman
Alberto Garcia
is a champion of local,
state, and national
science fairs. He has
received what can
only be alluded to as a
plethora of honors and
awards for his project,
which includes an in-
tegrated helmet and
pad system to help
reduce football injuries, mainly those injuries associated with
the whiplash motion
of high school football’s most notorious
tackles. When asked
what his achievements meant to him,
he responded, “It is
an honor to have excelled in the Science
Fair, and it has been a
great opportunity.” Alberto, or “Berto” as he
is known in the high
school, has advanced
not only to the local
science fair though
he has also elevated
his project to the international
science
fair, where his project
will compete against
the brightest minds
in the nation and the
world, and Berto is
high among them. His
other awards include;
third place overall in
the physical science
and mechanical and
electrical engineering,
the Air Force special
award, the Society
of American Military
Engineers
Award,
and the Texas Board
of Professional Engineers Future Engineer Award. “Alberto
has done a great job
at representing himself and Shallowater,” said Shallowater
High School teacher,
Leslie Griffis. He will
compete in the International Science Fair
in Pittsburg in May
2015, at the end of
this school year. So,
with Alberto’s many
accomplishments
there also comes a
sense of pride from
having him in Shallowater, we wish him
the best in the science
fair as well as all of
his future endeavors.

current CIS programs and expanding to new districts across the South Plains
region.

THE
Shallowater Students Help Name Bluebonnet Medalist
For 35 years, The Texas
Bluebonnet Award (TBA)
reading program (established
in 1979) has encouraged
Texas children to read more
books, explore a variety of
current books, develop powers of discrimination, and
identify their favorite books.
Each year the Texas Library Association sponsors
this program for students
in grades three through six.
Through a long and hard process, a committee of librarians, administrators, teachers,
professors, and others select
twenty of the best new books
for kids and place the titles on
the Bluebonnet Master List.
If a student reads at least
five of the titles from the list,
he or she becomes eligible to
vote for their favorite among
the books they have read.
The votes from school
children across the state
are tabulated and the author of the work voted the
favorite is awarded the
Bluebonnet medal at the
Texas Library Association’s Spring Convention.
Shallowater 5th grade
Bluebonnet voters attended
a pizza party on February 26th to recognize the
students for their participation in this program.

to the judging season.
Continuing the path of creativity and
charity driven senior projects for the
Class of 2015, Shallowater senior Andrew Burton stepped up and organized
a 3-on-3 tournament that would be fun
and also help children with cancer.
The tournament was held on Saturday, March 28 and included high
school and middle school teams. A
total of 12 teams participated, and
medals were given to the top teams.
The profits raised from the tournament
from registration fees to concession
stand purchases went directly to the
Make-A-Wish foundation. The tournament raised just over 300 dollars.
Tournament champs for the High
School division was the team of Camie Holcombe, Coach Kyle Maxfield, and Kelsee Smith. Tournament
champs for the Middle School diviHigh School 3 on 3 Champions:

Robotics Team #4852 Among Top Teams In The Nation
PRIDE Journalist *Ashley Rosales
winter of 2014, more
than 300,000 students from the United
States, and some places
abroad, entered in the
National Scholastic Art
Contest for a trip to
New York, New York.
Out of those 300,000,
the field was narrowed
to 17,000 for the regional cut. Of those 17,000,
12 students were from
Shallowater ISD alone.
Of these few 17,000
only .07%, just 2,200,
are selected as National

impressive that Miss
Hannah Ayers is included within this prestigious group of artists.
