We need your help!
We need Volunteers and Judges for our District FIRST LEGO League Qualifier on Saturday, December 8th at Heritage Middle School. We will have 11 district teams competing, 3 of which are from GMS. This is a great opportunity to see what students can do with robots and special projects. Come out and support Coach Hall, Coach Cox, Coach Jordan and their teams, the Milky Way Botz, the Engineering Eagles and the Guardians of The Galaxy. This year's theme is "Into Orbit".
Volunteer Signup (2-hour shifts: Friday 4-6 or Saturday 7:30 - 4:30)
Judges and Referees Sign-up (Saturday 7:30 - 4:30)
