Friday at MARC

What a day!  The Toasters sporting their off season tie-dyed shirts, went to Monroe HS to compete at the Michigan Advanced Robotics Competition.  Riding together on a bus, the Toasters did some team bonding and planning as they traveled the hour drive to get there. Rotating the students in attendance on the field, the team came together to end the day in 4th rank seed before taking a break to get some dinner.  

Bring the bread, Bring the butter, the Flying Toasters, are like no other!

MARC Team Agenda

Here is a link to the team agenda for MARC on August 24th & 25th.  

AGENDA

Bus will be leaving on Friday at 6:30am. Parents are to provide transportation on Saturday.  If you come late on Friday, such as after freshman orientation, you are welcome to ride the bus back with us providing you clear it with Mr. Weber. 

Upcoming Events

We will be finishing out the month of August by participating at MARC on the 24th & 25th at Monroe High School, 901 Herr Rd, Monroe MI 48161.  You can find the agenda and more info at their website.

Tentatively, our plan is to have students meet at SLEHS on FRIDAY between 6:15 & 6:30am for the team to take a SLCS Bus to the competition.  We are planning on returning between 8-8:30pm. We do not want students to drive to and from the event and we are planning on using the bus ride as part of team bonding.  However, some concerns are that students have pre-planned activities in the morning, and in this case if parents are able to drive the students to MARC, those students will be allowed to ride back with us on the SLCS Bus providing that you contact Coach Weber in advanced.  We will have confirmation of the SLCS bus at Monday’s meeting.  As there are costs for the bus, we are only using it on Friday; on Saturday, parents will have to transport their student to and from the event.

August Meetings:  We will be meeting Monday, August 20th, 6-9pm for a Team Meeting including competition instructions, and Wednesday, August 22nd, 6-9pm to practice one last time and then pack & load.  We are expecting to pass out team shirts at Wednesday’s Meeting. 

There will be no meetings the week of August 27th-31st.
