Ready, Set, LEGO
Statham Elementary's LEGO Robotics team recently earned the title of Grand Champions at the Lanier Longhorns Regional Competition through Georgia's FIRST LEGO League. The Statham Wildcats competed against twenty-two other elementary schools across Georgia. The team was judged on their core values, project presentation, and robot game. This year's challenge asked students to identify a problem within the human water cycle, design a solution that makes this problem better, and share their problem and solution with others. The team developed a "Leak Alert" app and device prototype that notifies a homeowner if their losing an excessive amount of water and allows the homeowner to shut off water flow to their home remotely.
The team will move onto the Athens Academy Super-Regional Competition on January 13th. This competitions will allow the team to compete against both elementary and middle school regional champions from across the state. Good luck Statham Wildcats!
Team Members: Kayla Boebel, Caleb Brown, Owen Forsythe, Kira Fuller, Jake Hansen, Jackson Nash, Collin Waldrop, and Joseph Wren.
Coaches: Eric Hammarlund and Laura Payne
For Our Kids
Winder-Barrow High and Apalachee High faculty teams participated in a lunch time basketball competition January 5. The goal was to raise $500 for Barrow Food 2 Kids. The total raised for the fundraiser was $1,102.58. This will sponsor 4 of 216 students now being served by Barrow Food 2 Kids. Many thanks to both school principals and Rob McFerrin and Ralph Neeley for this great idea and tremendous success!
