How much does your school support your FIRST Team?

[LPaton716]

Our school pays for our initial entry fee...and our teachers have generally been very understanding about getting in late work. Also our assistant principle, a math teacher, and a secretary and her family all came to our regional. They are great. Actually I feel as though we've had more support this year from our school than any other year I've been on the team. We had 52 fans (from families and the administration) at Hartford.

And our custodians lend us one bay of the heated (very important) garage for our build season.

There are plans for renovating our old agricultural building, turning into a technology center that would also host our team. But initial funding and the budget have been a problem...so we'll see how that goes.

Actually on another note, our former principle let us stay at her house when we went to the NJ regional last year. We had 20 people and it so we slept on the couches, porch, and in the dining room but it was great fun. And it worked well for meetings.
