I wonder if, at some point, I will stop being amazed. Six months (plus two days) ago we had our first Parents' Meeting. It took another two months before teams were truly formed. This past Saturday, we had members of all TEN teams come out to participate, judge, learn & cheer on the robots and Lego models at the Hathaway Brown FIRST Tournament.
The teams who participated made an outstanding performance! I saw two of the Minifigure Maniacs stand when the "Gracious Professionalism" awards were announced. Those are awards given by the judges for students who, without knowing they are being watched, do something spontaneously awesome. In some way they displayed the spirit of teamwork, kindness, and graciousness that embodies the core principles of FIRST. Truly, what could be better than THAT??
As for the Junior teams, we are SO proud of you!!
A tremendous thank you to all of the coaches, mentors & parents who have worked so hard to bring these incredible teams together this Fall. Be proud of your teams and yourselves. Please also continue their team spirit by inviting them to cheer on the FLL teams competing Saturday, Dec 11th and Sunday, January 9th.
We will also be having a coaches' meeting in January and more exciting events to come!
