Our Titanium Trojans robotics team took 5 Robots to todays Sumobot competition at Mt. Vernon High School. All 5 teams competed fiercely in two competitions. Ultimately, Brett Snow and Cruz Case, with their robot Bobbie, took home 2nd place out of 26 bots in the first double elimination challenge. In the second challenge, our robot Trojan Horse, built and programmed by Annon Rightnower and Ayden Dean claimed 1st place in the single elimination challenge featuring 25 bots. Congratulation to all of the members of our Titanium Trojans Team on helping make our first competition a success.

Due to busing conflicts and a lack of drivers, we are going to have run an early route Friday, April 14. The yellow bus route, Marla's route, will be dismissing at 2:15. As such student's riding on this route will get home approximately 40 minutes earlier than usual. Ms. Marla will then return to drive Mr. Gary's route, the green route. Students on the green route may arrive home a little later than normal. Thank you for your patience and understanding with this matter.
