Rich,
Thank you for your kind words and support. I cannot commend you enough for your efforts here in the NY & NJ community. You have truly been an inspiration to countless students and mentors. Congratulations to your FIRST student that has been accepted here, please pass him or her my e-mail so that we can keep them involved in FIRST. Thanx again for your well wishes.
Best,
-Wayne

Just a question about morris high school and their robotics team. You guys have a really great robotics program, I've heard that your school is changing, what is going to happen to the team?

Thanks,
Team 1155

Thanx again for the compliment, especially coming from a school as reputable as Bronx Science that means a lot. You're right in hearing that Morris High School will undergo restructuring. Here's the net sum: Morris High School will be phased out and broken into smaller schools, however 2TrainRobotics will remain up and remaining and open up to even more schools. Currently our team is composed of students from Banana Kelly, Bronx Leadership Academy 2, and Morris High School. Plans are in place to add students from the Morris derived schools, Hunter, as well as other schools who currently do not have a FIRST program. 395 remains committed to reaching out to as many students as possible regardless of school boundaries. We'll be actively working to ensure that our FIRST and FLL network continues to grow, picking up partners and other schools to mentor along the way. The future lies in the students and we'll do all we can to make sure that we have a hand in shaping it.
Hope that answers your question. Let me know if I can do anything else for ya.
