Team 1254 has homemade meals everyday. We put up a schedule in the mailroom (at school) and asked the staff if they could help provide meals. Many of the staff sign up, as well as team members and their parents, and the mentors. We have things like baked chicken and real mashed potatoes, homemade burritos, homemade soups, chili's (white and red), sloppy joes, spaghetti, nachos, roast beef/ham/turkey sandwiches, etc. We have only had pizza twice, when staff donated $$. We have had lots of desserts made as well as rolls. It is nice for the team not to have to worry about meals too much. I make sure there is someone signed up each day and if not I fill in. We are very lucky.
Our staff is very interested in our robot and when they bring meals they are always asking about it. This year we have had our ups and downs but are getting there. Only one student from last year was back this year (others all graduated). There are no 9th or 10th graders at our school.
