Re: 2008 Florida Regional

Yes we work with 2 schools. Tomorrow morning our team lead is going to see the principle at our other school and plead with them. However they did see the principle of our primary school this morning and she said they will work it out as a last resort. I wonder if one of the FIRST mentors could be an advocate for us and convince our local school system that this program should be more of a priority. They do give a us a nice place to work out of, and I understand teachers are tired at the end of the day and want to go home. So I'm not sure what the answer is, other than paying them extra. We as a team have never done a very good job of advocating for ourselves. We just don't have a real dynamic go getter administrative type, just a bunch of caring average busy volunteers. I'd like to steal someones chairman award winning team leads for a while

One way or another, we'll be there
