Fans packed the Yoakum stands, bringing the energy of a rivalry game into postseason play. The victory not only advances Cuero’s record but also reinforces the Gobblers’ reputation as one of the toughest squads in the region.

CHS Culinary Students Earn ServSafe Certification, Celebrate with Sweet Success

Trisha Garcia | November 20, 2025

CUERO, TX — Forty-one Cuero High School students from both the advanced culinary and introduction to culinary arts programs have successfully earned their ServSafe Food Handlers certificates, marking a major milestone in their culinary education and professional readiness.

The ServSafe Food Handlers certification, recognized nationwide, equips students with essential food safety knowledge and practices. This achievement not only reflects their dedication to mastering kitchen protocols but also positions them as valuable candidates for local food service employment.

To celebrate their accomplishment, the students enjoyed a festive gathering featuring cookies, ice cream, and punch — a well-deserved treat after weeks of study and hands-on training.

Looking ahead, the advanced culinary classes will begin preparing for the more rigorous ServSafe Food Managers certification program, scheduled for early spring. This next step will deepen their understanding of food safety regulations, managerial responsibilities, and operational standards in professional kitchens.

Local food establishments in need of trained, enthusiastic staff are encouraged to reach out. Businesses interested in hiring certified students can email their information to Culinary Arts Instructor Lisa Notaro at lnotaro@cueroisd.org.

This initiative not only supports student career development but also strengthens Cuero’s local food industry with skilled, safety-conscious talent.

Bobby Pulido Wins Latin Grammy for Best Tejano Album — Capping His Music Career with a High Note as He Steps Into Public Service
 November 14, 2025

Las Vegas, NV — Bobby Pulido, Tejano icon and candidate for Congress in Texas’ 15th District, was awarded the 2025 Latin Grammy for Best Tejano Album today for his live album “Bobby Pulido & Friends Una Tuya y Una Mía.”

This win marks Pulido’s second Latin Grammy in the same category, following his earlier win for “Para Que Baile Mi Pueblo.” It is a milestone moment for the South Texas native as he closes out his celebrated music career and channels his energy into public service.

“This couldn’t have happened without my amazing team,” Pulido said. “I am so thankful for this incredible blessing and for everyone who has been with me through it all — especially my fans, who motivate me to keep going. For decades, I used my voice to bring people together — through music, through culture, through pride in who we are. Now I’ll use my voice to fight for the people of South Texas because that’s the stage that matters most now.”

Pulido’s decades-long career has helped define modern Tejano music, bringing the sound of South Texas to international audiences. Today’s win reinforces his place among the most celebrated artists in the genre.

As he steps away from the stage and into a new chapter, Pulido says the mission is simple: use his voice to fight  for the community that shaped him.
