We are going to the closest regionals that are around us. Except for the Atlanta regional where we are going to the South Carolina regional. The time out of school will be six days for the two trips where we leave on Wed. I wish we could have two groups traveling but the regionals are at such a distance that that is impossible with the limited funds we are working with. Thank you for the help.

Also does anyone have a list of how FIRST matches up to subject areas in the school. This might help if we can show that while they are actually out of school the are not out of the learning experience.
