On Thursday, May 23rd, the Lytle High School Electrathon Team competed in the Alamo City Electrathon race at Trader’s Village in San Antonio. The team has worked the last couple of months to build an electric car from a kit donated by Toyota. This process was delayed time and again with backordered parts, the last one arriving the Friday before the race. I am so proud of these kids and the hard work they put in their free time during the day, evenings and weekends to get their car built in what really amounted to a matter of a few weeks.
Pirate Baseball travelled to Sinton Thursday, May 2nd, for Game 1 of the Bi-District Series with the Taft Greyhounds. Lytle jumped out to an early 3 - 0 lead and never looked back. Jacob Esquibel threw 4 great innings and made one of the best catches I've seen all year. Esquibel tracked down a popup and made a wonderful sliding catch right in front of our dugout.
I would like to thank the teachers who guided their students in creating amazing video commercials that promoted their booth exhibits as well as created excitement in the week leading to this year's showcase. We had a total of 6 student-produced video commercials, and they garnered quite a bit of attention!
Yesterday, April 29th, a group of students in my College and Career Readiness class had the opportunity to do a behind the scenes tour of SeaWorld San Antonio. These students showed a special interest in Animal Careers and were able to get a first-hand look at what it takes to work at a place like SeaWorld. During the tour, our students were able to interact with the animals, feed them and pet them, and speak with animal trainers to understand the requirements of the job. Along the way, they learned about different jobs like animal training, aviculturist, animal curators, an aquarist, along with other careers in marketing and research.
Pirate baseball's push for a District Championship came up a little short on Friday night. In an action-packed game from start to finish, Joel Guerrero and Logan Wilson provided us with great pitching. Unfortunately, multiple errors in the 3rd inning and 5th inning erased a valiant offensive effort by the Pirates.
