Week of January 30



Halfway through build season!  Great progress is being made - detailed updates at Monday night's team meeting.

Reminder that participation at regionals is based on your participation during build season - rookies need to log 67.5 hours and veterans 90 hours by Ship Date (2/21) to attend the Lake Superior Regional (but student pays a portion of their hotel room).  Complete all your hours before March 16 to be eligible to attend Midwest Regional.  ENCOURAGE YOUR PEERS TO GET THEIR HOURS IN - MAKES MORE FUN FOR EVERYONE!

Order forms for duffel bags, hoodies, shorts, and polos are due Monday night.  You can pay now or when items arrive.

    Week of January 23

    Second week of Build Season down - had to deal with the weather this past week. Hope the forecast is better this week.

    Special thank you to our alumni who spent a lot of time at the shop during their Winter Break - Nathan A., Jake C., Dillon C., Carrington H., Becca N., Ross K., Stephen H., Aren H.  Looking forward to seeing some of you at Duluth and/or Chicago.  Enjoy your Spring semester!  (I'm sure I missed someone, it was not intentional.  PK)

     Lots of important information to be shared at Monday night's 7pm team meeting.

    • Tie-dye t-shirts - orders have been collected and are ready to submit.  We do have the option of long-sleeved shirts at $14.50 -- let Karen H. know immediately if you want one.
    • "Spirit Items" Part 2 - Order forms will be given out Monday for embroidered polos (for parents, if you want), orange shorts with 1625 on back, embroidered black/grey duffel bags, orange tie-dyed hoodies, or black hoodies(if you need another). Susan Smith will be handling this order.  
    • Travel arrangements for Duluth and Chicago - email went out to all families from Mona S.  Please contact her for Duluth and Lana D. for Chicago.  We need to confirm details for bus and hotel ASAP.
