Re: Must Read - Seriously, You'll love it.

as much as I know we aren't in this solely to win, the only way our admin will ever take our team seriously would be if we do win.

we have seen nearly every hands-on STEAM program cut at our school, beginning with giving our huge and successful auto shop program to the wrestling team. our incredible photography/pottery studio was transformed into a special ed room. now we are losing our woodshop/drafting/robotics classes to an uncertified track coach who plans on teaching 1 period of commercial art.

it's ironic, because our school has been held up as the district flagship highschool, we are IB, so we attract kids who want a more challenging program. now we will be the only HS in the district without a robotics program.

winning the district might help change his mind...if not, 4-H is waiting for us!
