Would like to join Maraget H, Amira M, Catarina D, Chloe T, Teresa C and others in the first Junior Varsity Robotics program in Chatham ?
Greetings!
I think might be interested in this program. The program is open to rising eight graders and this year's team has a majority of girls, ranging from 8th grade to 10th grade. Most of these students are academically focus and that would allow your daughter to form special bonds with high school kids before she heads up there.
