He's the only person in our school who even cares about robotics and without him we wouldn't have a team. He doesn't get the recognition he deserves sometimes and I would like to say thank you.

Another person who did awesome this year was Mrs. Entwistle. She put alot of time into the pancake breakfast which raised us a good amount of money. She supported team throughout the season and she deserves a thank you as well.

Everyone I've mentioned (and I'm sure there are others I haven't) has changed my life and I want to thank you guys for that. You gave me a great senior year and turned something I wanted to do to impress colleges into an awesome experience. You guys are great."

Thanks for posting a great example of a really heartfelt thanks.

If Mr. Chidley and Mrs. Entwistle are interested, have them join NEMO. They will meet a lot of mentors like them.
