Team members are Erica Klein, Mai Nguyen, Liam Preuninger and Lucas Stoll. They are coached by Marie Tsuji.
The High School So Many Problems team received the Amaze Award, which is presented to a team that has built an amazing, high-scoring robot that clearly demonstrates overall quality. This is the second consecutive tournament that this team has earned this award. Team members are Sam Bacon, Owen Ferris and Danielle Klein.
The Elementary Rocket team had a very successful tournament at Napoleon. Ending in 9th place after the qualifying matches is impressive and finishing tied for 3rd place in the finals is even more so!

This afternoon, the students at Cooper Elementary celebrated Thanksgiving in a special way. Thanks to a great idea from Kindergarten teacher, Mrs. Laning, the students had their first Pie Day at Cooper. During the event, Mrs. Keorkunian (principal) read "One is a Feast For Mouse, A Thanksgiving Tale" over the intercom while all of the students in Preschool-5th Grade were seated at a makeshift table lining their main hallway. After the story was read, students and staff enjoyed pumpkin pie together. It was so much fun that Cooper plans to make this an annual tradition.
As a reminder, there is no school from Wednesday, November 23-Friday, November 25 for Thanksgiving Break. We wish our students, staff, families and community a wonderful Thanksgiving!
