For those who were not able to make the parent meetings and want to catch up on what was discussed, notes and other important information can be found here.

The team's Scrip program is one of our biggest individual fundraisers.  You've all heard the phrase "If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is."  Scrip is one of those things that sounds really good and actually is true.  You purchase gift cards through Scrip for your local grocery store, gas station, or favorite restaurant and receive a percentage of the purchase price in return, typically between 2% and 10%.  Use the program for all the things you buy on a regular basis, like gas and groceries, and earn money for your student.  All proceeds from Scrip purchases go directly to the student and help cover their team expenses like travel and apparel.  Some families have paid for all their team-related expenses using only the Scrip program.

During the build season (January through March), we ask that families partner with one another to provide dinner for the team.  Students will indicate which evenings they plan to be at robotics so we can provide families with an accurate count of how many to prepare for.  Typically one family provides the main dish and another provides side dishes.  The team will provide plates, napkins, and utensils.  The team also owns several Nescos that are available for meals.  Sign-up will begin in mid-December.
