         The Christmas Party was a huge success.  Students colored cards, glued reindeer, decorated & ate cookies for 2 hours.  They all came away with wonderful gifts (cookie mix in a jar, candy cane reindeer, beautiful foiled paper cards, ornaments, etc.) to share.  Decorating and eating Christmas cookies was very fun!  A BIG thank you to the VOPACT group and the other parents, who organized, shopped, prepared crafts, and helped the children.  Without you, this event wouldn't have been possible.  Merry Christmas!

         Our two intrepid Lego teams traveled to Clovis, CA Saturday, Dec. 13 to participate in the Central California FLL Championship Tournament.  The Medieval Bunnies of Doom, consisting of Amara, David, Matthew, Clayton, & Michael with coaches Mr. Puffer & Mr. Wolfe and the Tehachapi Polar Bears-Sequoia, Zachary, Nicholas, Myrinda, Lorenzo, T.J. , Lisa, Mikayla, with coaches Mr. Hart, Mrs. Brino, & Mrs. Graham- traveled, braving inclement weather, to Clovis to compete against many other CA teams.  Both teams were judged on teamwork, design, and successful completion of "missions".  The missions were performed by individual Lego robots which were programmed by the students. 
          As you can see by the pictures, both teams had much fun and excitement.  The Polar Bears received an award for Spirit; they cheered, they yelled, they rattled, and they rolled with the best of them!!
         Good job Medieval Bunnies of Doom and Tehachapi Polar Bears.  I know you learned much from this competition and look forward to the next!
         Thank you to all the parents and coaches who, not only bravely journeyed to Clovis, but weekly participated in meetings-all for the benefit of the kids.  You all are great!
