Our Roboknights 8th grade team, the Waffle Turtles, had one FANTASTIC day today at the Regional FIRST Lego League competition in Madison! They tied for 4th in the robotics competition, then went on to earn the 2nd place overall Champion award with their core values, innovation project (Histo-Draw), and robot design presentation. They were also nominated for two other awards, the Robot Design Award and Core Values Award.  They have worked so very hard since August, and really put on a great show at the Regional Competition. Congratulations to Claire Mondloch, Eddie Bloomer, Charlotte Czerwonka, and Eloise Czerwonka!!

This week’s Knight Lesson is to Be Responsible - Use materials and time as intended. With the start of the new trimester, we have the opportunity to have a fresh start. With this, a reminder to use our time wisely is the best way to start the trimester off on the right foot. If we can keep on top of things in the beginning of the trimester that will help prevent us from becoming overwhelmed by the end of the trimester.  The same can be said about using our materials as they are intended and coming prepared to school and class each day. When we have all of our materials ready to go, it is easier to start class focused, which will then help us to use our time effectively. If we start the day or class playing games or talking we then need to use more work time to prepare for what is needed. If you need any new school supplies, please stop in the Middle School office. Let's have a great trimester, Knights!
