Re: Two school, One team

1038 has students from 4 different schools within the same district, 2 High Schools and 2 Freshman Schools. We also have students from a nearby school district and a home schooled student from near Dayton. We have always had an open-door policy for students who did not have a team in their school.

We currently work at a local mall, we have our own store that we lease and use as our build and meeting space. We also use it to showcase FIRST and our team to the public. We carry our own insurance since we do not work at the school. We still house some of our funds at the school for those sponsors who only want to donate to the school. But we also started a non-profit group that manages a Fund through the our local Community Foundation that is a 501(c)3.
