The High School Robotics Team will be doing an Apparel Order for Robotics hoodies, shirts & hats. If you are interested please grab an order form from any of the 4 offices (Admin, High School, Middle School or Elementary School). Money and order forms are due back by Valentine’s Day and should be dropped back off to any of the 4 offices. Orders will be delivered by March 6th. That's just in time to be able to wear the apparel while the Robotics Team is at their first competition in Mt. Pleasant. More details to come!
