Back to School Night Reminder

Students,

I have only heard back from three students about whether they will be able to help prepare for the Back to School Night presentations. It is important that you email or text me with whether you can or cannot help us prepare for these so I am able to figure out a date that will be best for everyone. Please reply back as soon as you can!

Thanks,
Sammy

Back to School Night (Mentors)

Mentors,

Since Back to School Nights at the high schools are coming up within the next couple of months, the preparation of the presentations to be given at the schools to recruit new members is going to begin in the first few weeks of August. To ensure that every point is touched on in the presentations, I am asking the adults who have worked with the team to provide ideas to put into the presentations. If you could send me your ideas within the next few weeks, the group of students who are going to be working on the presentation preparations will incorporate the ideas into the presentations for the schools.

Thanks!
Sammy

Back to School Night (Students)

Students,

As much as we are all possibly dreading it, school is going to start back up soon. Which means, that Back to School Nights are going to be going on, mainly in September (with VoTech as the exception in August). And as many of you know, the robotics team is in need of more students, especially freshmen. So, we are planning on doing presentations at as many of the Back to School Nights as we can. Before we can do the presentations, however, we need to plan for them. That means, we need to plan what we are bringing, if we are going to have a powerpoint, if we have a speech ready, etc.

My proposal is getting as many students together either during the first or second week of August to plan for the presentations. I will need a few dates when you know you are able to meet with the team to help plan. Once I have dates from everybody, I will figure out the best date for as many people to be there as possible.

In addition to a time of when to meet, we would also need to figure out where. SCC is closed during the month of August, so a location is necessary. We could do it at my house in Pedricktown if we need to, BEANS Coffee Shop in Woodstown, or any other central location that would be easier for everybody. If transportation is an issue, a carpool can be worked out.
If you are unable to attend due to vacation, camps, transportation, etc. it is completely understandable. In lieu of you physically being at the planning meeting, I ask that you email or text ideas to me and I will present the ideas in your place.

Please help to make our presentations a success that will get us many new students. Thanks!
-Sammy
