Re: How much does your school support your FIRST Team?

We almost didn't have a team this year due to a lack of financial sponsors, and now we've got more support from the school than we've had since I joined the team 4 years ago. Most of the administration is aware of our presence and needs, the school district's foundation has given us money, and will continue to do so, the school has promised to work more closely with us. They even want us to meet year-round and do other non-FIRST projects, such as working with the middle-school to gain interest or showcasing robots at community events. Even the janitors are working with us more than before. With the unfortunate cutting of most of the school's vocational programs, we have access to more rooms (though we lost access to a few due to district storage taking old rooms).

Overall, we're starting to get the support from our school that we need to promote and expand the robotics program, and we're really excited for it.
