To all Students....
While you are all getting excited waiting for kickoff but have nothing to do, this is a great time to plan and compose your Woodie Flowers submission. You can find the full document on the FIRST website but here is a pertinent excerpt.

Entry Requirements
The students enter team and candidate information, reference information, and a maximum three
thousand (3,000) character essay written in English. Teams may also add up to six (6) pictures,
totaling no more than 1.0 Mb. of memory. This essay should be a team effort and will stand alone as
the team’s entry to award their candidate the deserved recognition.
For students to re-nominate a past WFFA winner for the Championship WFA, they must write and
submit a new three thousand (3,000) character essay.
Teams may only submit their WFFA candidate at one Regional competition for judging.
Submission Deadline
The Woodie Flowers Award entries are due by NOON EST on Thursday, February 16, 2012.

There is no greater reward for a mentor than to be nominated by the students on his/her team. So many great adult leaders miss the chance for this recognition. Take the time now and finish before kickoff gets here. It's only a month away.

Thanks for the reminder! 256'll start writing (our first one that has been long overdue) this Wednesday at the PR meeting.

To all of the mentors out there, Good luck! :D

Andrew,
Get the word out to your team to come up with some ideas and quotes from students for your nominee. It is best to come prepared to the meeting and get a jump start.
