Congrats to the football and volleyball teams on their first
round victories in the playoffs. Good
luck to Girls’ Cross Country, KKD Soloists and Competition Cheer as they head
off to State competitions this weekend.
Finally a special “break a leg” to the cast and crew of the fall play, Lend Me A Tenor! If you are looking for some Sunday
entertainment, I invite you to attend the 2:00 pm showing of the play and then
stay for some dinner at the Annual Spaghetti Supper.
In development, we wrapped up the addition of another $1,000
scholarship for students to attend Assumption.
The family I have been working with will be naming the scholarship after
one of the family members. What a great
gift!
We are finalizing plans on the Presidents’ Appreciation
dinner and working on the Annual Report and Annual Appeal. This week was also the week that we ported
over our Blackbaud data for our target analytics project. I am excited to see the information we get
back and to begin using the data to strengthen our development efforts.
On the technology side, we had to do some trouble shooting
on some of our electronic whiteboards.
While none of the problems were too serious, it still took a little time
and effort to get everything back in working order. I sometimes forget that we began this project
over five years ago and technology does have a shelf life. We will need to begin replacing some of the
hardware on these units to keep them in top shape.
I spent some time this week working to get the details in
order for our second First Tech Challenge team.
Some of you may remember the First Tech Challenge from last year. There is
still a lot of interest in the team, and we have been lucky enough to have a
parent volunteer help us out. Just to
recap, the FTC website describes First Tech challenge as follows:
FTC is designed for those who want to compete head to
head, using a sports model. Teams of up to 10 students are responsible for
designing, building, and programming their robots to compete in an alliance
format against other teams. The robot kit is reusable from year-to-year and is
programmed using a variety of languages. Teams, including coaches, mentors and
volunteers, are required to develop strategy and build robots based on sound
engineering principles. Awards are given for the competition as for well as for
community outreach, design, and other real-world accomplishments.
Hope to see everyone
this weekend at either the play or the Spaghetti Supper!
