OK I want to brag on our kids for a minute. EnTech 281 also has two Dean's list finalists. Last year it was Megan Shew (who won it as a junior) and is our club's president. This year it is David Gaddy. David was our programming captain last year and leader of our FTC team that went to the eliminations at nationals. He spent countless hours working on our summer robot greeter project for the AJ Wittenberg elementary school here in Greenville (those at Palmetto had a chance to meet AJ at the arena north entrance). David was the unanimous choice for our robot team captain this year among our mentors, and saw us through another successful build season.

We could tell David had made Dean's list before the announcer because Megan was down on the field to present the award and peeked at the winner. She practically started bouncing out of her shoes.

Anyway, they are both great kids and we will miss them both next year.
