New T-Shirt Design
The previous t-shirt could not be printed properly so we designed a new one. Please let me know ASAP if you have any objections to the new design. The new design is also on a more urban cut t-shirt.

Meeting on December 22
Hello. Our meeting on 12/22 was a lot of fun. The kids worked on a Pentathlon event and Experimental Design. They then had a cookie exchange and made the school banner. (See to your right). Mr. C is our official photographer and did a fantastic job photographing everyone. Check out the pictures, he sent an email with a link to everyone on the team. All but one showed up so I was very grateful for everyone's support and pulling together. A field trip is planned over the holidays so if you are interested, make sure you respond to Mrs. B or Mrs. K's emails as to your availability and interest. The one missing student should contact me.

Coaches' and Volunteer Training - UPDATE
I received the following message from the State Director with regards to the Training which would have been held this Saturday.
Unfortunately there is a conflict with our use of facilities for saturday's proposed training. I have tried my best to relocate our event for saturday but have been unable to find any other facility that we can get immediate approval for. We were trying to avoid the outrageous fees associated with renting our own facilities in a public school building so that this could be offered for free. I am working to find a new location with two dates in mind Saturday, November 22nd or Saturday, December 6. However there will likely be a fee associated with attending in order to offset our building use costs. I apologize for any inconvenience this will cause however in order to offer the tech and lab trainings we wanted it was unavoidable.
In addition unless more people step up to help lead event sessions the training will only include the following:
2 hour tech event/engineering training
2 hour lab event training
1 hour coaches strategies session
45 minute meeting with the Director about tournament policies and procedures
Please understand that board members and other volunteers are already committing a great deal of time to putting other things together. Trainings in other states are only successful when people volunteer to help run sessions. One of my earlier emails this year solicited volunteers to help run event sessions however I had very few responses.
