We had a great turnout on Saturday for our FIRST Lego League meeting.  We were able to share the background info about the FIRST Lego League and get our schedule finalized.  Your children will have a blast learning, experimenting, designing and working together.

Please read below for important scheduling info, links for more information and contact info. 

As we discussed in the parent meeting we have finalized our schedule for this FIRST Lego League. 

Scheduling info:
Mondays from 5:15 - 6:15pm beginning August 23, 2010.

The first two Mondays (Aug 23 & Aug 30) will be team-building, "get to know you" meetings.  We will skip the following Monday (Labor Day) and resume on Monday, September 13.  Please plan to arrive and be ready to begin at 5:15.  We will end promptly at 6:15 each Monday night. 

WE NEED PARENT VOLUNTEERS!  We are looking for parent volunteers to manage/lead in three key areas. 

1. Skit
2. Research
3. Robot

If you are interested in leading this portion of the FIRST Lego League, please let us know. It is very important for the students to be the thinkers & doers in the FLL but this adult volunteer will be responsible for the mentoring/assisting with these 3 very important parts of the FLL.  If you have not yet turned in your permission slip please click here to print it. You can either email it back or return it on August 23 at our first meeting with your $10 club fee. 

If your child is allergic to anything food related, please let us know so that we can be sure to provide the appropriate snacks.
