Wait, who said that this FLL season is over!  Coincidently, Nick and I, we
both got involved in FLL during the 2007 season, and it still has not ended.
FLL seasons just keep going on-and-on until you decided that it's over.

 

Good news!  Coach Katarina has agreed to select one of the team that
participated in the food/coat drive for a tour of the most famous House in
the world!  The selected team with their registered coaches/mentors will
attend a tour with Coach Katarina on a future TBD date.  So if your team
donated food/coat at the Harrisonburg State Tournament, please e-mail me
your team name, team number, and number of members plus the number of
adults.  Coach Katarina will select one at random for this tour!

 

Yes, in honor of the Falls Church regional tournaments that started the Food
Drive tradition, those teams that donated canned food at the Falls Church
tournaments can also submit their information for this drawing!!!

 

If you don't know about the Kilmer Teams' famous tour, check out Coach
Katarina's introduction video at
http://www.scitobor.com/CoachCamtasia/Katarina.html.  In addition, if you
weren't able to attend the State tournament at JMU, you can watch the video
of Congressman Goodlatte honoring this year FLL with the presentation of the
two Champion Awards at
http://www.scitobor.com/JMU_VADCFLL_2014Awards/JMU_VADCFLL_2014Awards.html.
(Sorry, the video does not work on iPhone since it doesn't support Adobe
Flash!)

 

 

Merry Christmas!

Give and ye shall receive!

Subject: Canned Food Drive for Harrisonburg -- at the State Tournament
Importance: High

 

Hi Everyone,

 

Last month at the Falls Church regional tournaments, we started a tradition
of collecting canned foods for the local community in honor of this year
"FLL World Class Learning Unleased" theme and the team "Rabid Llama Lords"
that back in 2008 won the heart of the White House for their volunteering to
teach Robotics to other elementary students at their school!  I just want to
report back that all the foods collected was donated to the local food bank
at the Columbia Church just in time for Thanksgiving sharing.  They send
their warmest thank you to all the teams that have donated the foods and
best regards to everyone at FLL.

 

One of the things that we want to teach our kids this season is about "Take
and Give" and better yet "Give, and it shall be given unto you".  Our FLL
kids are so fortunate that they have caring coaches and parents that
supporting them in their STEM education.  We want them to know that there
are a lot of less fortunate kids out there that they should not only share
their FLL experiences but also in giving to those hungry and cold during
this Holiday season.

 

So for this year State tournament (maybe even during all our future regional
tournaments) and in the spirit of the Holidays, we ask that teams bring at
least one canned food per team member to help out those in our area who need
it the most!  We are working with a few JMU students and their organizations
to collect and deliver these canned foods to the local food bank in
Harrisonburg.

 

It's about understanding FLL World Class Learning and teaching our kids on
"giving back to the local community" plus leaving some goodwill behind after
our State tournament is over!  So bring some canned food and/or some old
coats for the local Key Club!

 

P.S. I'm attaching the Rabid Llama Lords' Take and Give experiences and also
working with Coach Katarina to see if she is willing to pick one of the team
participating in the food/coat drive to take them on a tour of the House!

 

 

Best wishes and Go Orion!

Coaches,

 

The Harrisonburg High School Key Club asked me to send a note to all the
teams coming to the state tournament.

 

They are hosting a coat drive to try to make sure as many kids as possible
have a warm coat this winter.  This is a big problem in Harrisonburg as we
have a significant refugee population.

 

If you have extra coats or jackets in good shape, please consider bringing
them to the high school on Sunday and donating them to the Key Club.
They'll make sure they get to a good home.

 

thanks,

 

see you soon.

 

Nick
