Thanks Eric. Our students have set some pretty high goals, and one of them is to have absolute blast at the competitions.

We had a great time at Traverse City and liked being next to the Yeti's. We enjoyed your mascot, your chants and your cool students. Your team made a big statement at TC. I hope we get to see 857 in more competitions next year.

I know it's not easy for you to come all the way down from the U.P. to be part of the action. I think Traverse City will be a must for us next near, so maybe we'll see you there in 2010. Please cheer for us at West Michigan - there will be some great teams there.
