Re: pic: We left the boys at home
To travel to 3 regionals and the Championship is no small feat. Students, teachers, mentors, parents - all have school, jobs to contend with and juggle. This team has been known as a co-ed team. To take a travel team to one of the regionals that is made up of girls, encouraged more active participation, involvement, ownership of the experience on the part of all the members. It also encouraged the team to step away from their own perceptions of who they are and experiment/experience the depth of their team strengths and land on their feet. Those feet are taking the steps toward a changed culture.
Good luck in Atlanta, Team 842.
