All-girls team from Judson ISD competes in BexarFest

“It’s definitely exciting,” said Amber Perales, a senior at JECA. “You’re going out there, you’re making videos, taking pictures, meeting new people.”

The team has spent countless hours over the past four months working on the project, all while pursuing their high school diplomas and associate’s degrees.“To watch them go one-on-one when we’re on the filming days is pretty awesome because they’re just grown up,” he said.This year’s team from JECA is the competition’s only all-girls team, which Perales believes gives them an edge.

“You know, sometimes boys are a little bit slackers,” she said, laughing. “But, yeah, it’s just been — it’s been really fun just to be around a bunch of girls.”“We have the one male in our group, which is our teacher,” she said. “Let’s make him, I don’t know, Ken or Alan or whatever.” From the graphics to the music, these “Barbies” created every element of their project. They hope their work helps connect Sheepdog with someone in need.

“There is help out there, especially for veterans and first responders and people who have been on those frontlines,” said Perales.Students will be honored in several categories during an award ceremony at the Tobin Center on April 1.Daniela Ibarra joined the KSAT News team in July 2023.
