1) Students are not allowed to travel if they have a D or F on grade checks. The administration, board, other teachers, and parents love this.

2) We have taken, all expenses paid, the superintendent, 2 principles, and a boeard member to nationals over the past 4 years.

3) We have perfromed school board presentations and robot demos.

4) We have helped start 8 FLL teams,in our district, over the past year.

5) We have included other classes/clubs in the school in the operations of the team.

6) We do not ask for any money from the district. We are 100% self sufficient and "FREE" to them. We are all the good of a team and none of the negative.

Heck, this year our district gave us $2,500 and the board is going to pay for the superintendent and a vice principal to attend nationals. We also have a robotics class now.

It has taken 6 years to achieve this level of support. But if you are professional in everything you do, you will get there. If you need anything else, let me know and I will be glad to help.

Number 1 is the same with us expect instead of a D or F it's an E and you can't get lower then a 2.5.
