Congratulations to Kindergarteners, Lily and Gregory, this month's Student Effort Award recipients!
In a unit about Earth's Natural Resources, students explored the importance of alternative energy sources. To demonstrate their knowledge, groups developed a design proposal to replace traditional energy production with a renewable source, like wind or solar, to power LED bulbs in an "everyday structure."
They then presented a design pitch, to their class to persuade their future clients to select renewable energy sources, over traditional fossil fuels. This pitch included a working model of their structure, demonstration of LED bulbs powered by renewable energy circuitry, and evidence of energy flow and storage information to support the use of their chosen alternative source.

The UME/NMC Robotics Team, grades 3-5, is currently competing in the national Wonder League Robotics Competition (WLRC). Students are challenged to program their little blue robot, named Dash, through a series of challenges along a coordinate plane. This year’s theme is space, so many students have used Lego pieces to create a helmet for their robot. The team submits their code and a short video of their robot completing each challenge to a national judging committee. Submissions for all five challenges are due by January 27th. The team would like to thank the Eagle Fund and Plaskolite for sponsoring the program.
The teachers are once again champions of the S.A.D.D Volleyball tournament. Great job to all of the teams.
