Some traditions may lose luster, but rodeo break still has support

POP QUIZ Responses from students at Amphitheater High School
Tucson, Arizona | Published: 02.21.2008
Should students still get a rodeo break?
"I would rather have a longer winter break or spring break. I don't even go to the rodeo, so I don't even need a break."
Isamar Valdivia, 17
junior
"Yes. Everybody else gets Presidents Day off and we don't."
James Patty, 17
junior
"Yes, because we go to school all year and we work really hard so we deserve some time off.
And I do go to the rodeo."
Corey Roberts, 15
sophomore
"I think rodeo break is fine. I don't see a problem with it.
Jasmine Frodge, 17
senior
"I heard other schools, like schools in Phoenix, get Presidents Day off. I honestly don't go to the rodeo."
Amaris Escobedo, 16
junior
