We are excited to see all teams. If they can do a single mission, that's
more then they could do in the beginning. Also there is no ranking of
teams that is public to teams, so no one knows. 

This is FLL not the NFL. They will be so pumped after this day that they
Will wonder what they were worried about. 

High fives to your kids. (And parents too)

Hi Everyone,

We are a new rookie team (joined FLL in September -- enjoying it very
much
- especially everyone's support) and as we approach the finish line
parents
are worried about the kids feeling really bad if they don't perform up
to
the other teams.

Our hearts are torn because we know in our minds it's about teaching the
FLL Core Values.   We are thinking of the core values -- "We are a
team", "What we discover if more important".    At the same time, we
respect the parents who feel strongly that the kids may feel bad in
the end.    Has anyone ever been here walking in these shoes that could
offer advice. W

We would love to hear everyone's thoughts.

Best Regards
Linda Budiman
