Nicole,
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on the new site! It is fantastic! You have provided outstanding leadership in getting this off the ground.
My son Christopher really enjoyed robotics this past year as a third grader at Flynn Park. His favorite part was the final competition and working on a project with his friends. I think it was the right balance between fun and competition. He wore the medel, he and his team mates earned at the competition, for two days straight. He didn't want to take it off. He even slept with it.
We are both looking forward to next year and steping up in the competition category.
Thanks for everything!
Chris Tabourne
