(Entertainment-NewsWire.com, June 15, 2013 ) Marbella, Spain -- The Car Show in Alamo, Texas featured over 30 vehicles, as the event was organized and sponsored by teachers and personnel from the local high school. The display drew in exhibitors from the area who were their to display their various vehicles. For attending, those present were treated to a quality barbecue.
Clifford Serna, an employee of the National Radio Astronomy Observatory, was presented with honors as 'crowd favorite' with his yellow Honda motorcycle. The best in show was given to Eric Granadonegro's Mud Bogger, for his 1996 Ford Bronco that holds a 351 Cleveland engine.
The show was held at the high school was a culmination of the Expeditionary Learning program for the local Alamo Navajo High School. It had been kicked off in the earlier in the week, and attracted students and residents of the area. The program is geared toward allowing students the opportunity to attain high-energy activities to study regarding the trade routes of the area, along with other history aspects.
The exercise was specifically designed to give students a literally understanding of the impact of the Route 66 road, which is one of the most well known trade routes, and is now the most popularly known highway stretch. Route 66 has been defined as the most famous road in all of American history, in fact. It eventually stretched from Chicago to Los Angeles after becoming the main street in Albuquerque.
Alamo classes for students all somehow include an incorporation of the trade route, along with the impact it has on various subjects. “Each teacher looked at the exercise through their own lens,” art teacher Hanna Treder said. “For example, the math teacher might require learners to calculate miles per gallon for specific distances, locations and the different vehicles traveling the route.”
While history will look at the aspects of the development of the road, and English teacher will look to Kerouac or Steinbeck writing that references the stretch.
“It made for a deeper experience,” Treder said. “Along with the barbecue it was very relaxed and entertaining but exciting. The students were able to see how things have changed. The owners of the vehicles did a ‘sound off,’ revving engines that excited the crowd. The students put in hard work, drawing in handmade sketchbooks and studying various historical personalities like Montezuma and others.”
