Now we're hunting for a teacher to go with us. We've never had any luck getting teachers to help us out. MARS our neighboring school seems to get a lot more support from the Palm beach county school system. I wish we could afford to pay a teacher and keep one interested.... ugh...
My understanding is that MARS' one teacher wanted to help your team, but Jupiter High School's administration and his union said he should not be listed as both MARS & Swamp's teacher escort due to liability issues (Our team alone has 42 students). Hopefully between your two schools a teacher will step forward. It sure would be nice if teachers received something extra for their FIRST involvement.

MARS' was able to set up a joint MARS/Swamp presentation to Palm Beach County's School Board last year because the father of 2 of our students is a board member. Perhaps we can try to do that again. Let us know if there is anything else we can do.

Also, just wanted to gripe again about FCATs. Our Juniors are being driven up seperately when their tests are over, & we were lucky to get that approved by the school.
