Who: FLL Adults

When: Two opportunities for Volunteering
11/2 Thursday 3:00 - ~7pm - Help set up the gym by laying tarps, taping out booths, running electrical, laying out chairs and signs, etc.

Why: To give back to our sponsor - St. Joe Lions Club! They have sponsored us since the inception of St. Joe Robotics in 2011, and give so much back to the community. All the proceeds from this craft show go straight back to St. Joseph programs like Lions Park Beach, Camp Leo for kids with special needs, and other community service projects!
Sign up here! Please submit one form for each volunteer.
Due to changes in the State MDE Grant we receive, all teams are required to attend Lancer-Bot-Mania. Mark your calendars for November 18th! This is located at Lakeshore High School.
FLL Explore/Little Joes students will be participating the whole morning (~7am - 1pm)
FLL Challenge/Super Joes students should expect to stay the whole day (~7am - 5pm)
We provide breakfast and lunch to our teams, cost covered by the Participation Fee! Breakfast will be a small bag they can grab, and Lunch will be catered.
We are looking for parents interested in helping coordinate these efforts. Please email Morgan at mbrunsting@sjschools.org if you are able to help support!
At this time, we do not have any adults who have volunteered to help manage the lunch orders and breakfast organization. Unless we have volunteers, we will need students to bring packed lunches. FLL snacks will be brought for students no matter what.
This role includes determining what to order (Jimmy Johns is usually good!), how much to order, and picking it up. I can take care of the purchasing aspect. This role can also include organizing other fun items to bring like desserts, drinks, and more! We are also looking for parents to make breakfast bags for the students to grab and go.
If you are able to help support lunch efforts, please email mbrunsting@sjschools.org
