August 20, 2018 Dear Parents and Guardians, Mrs. Wright is continuing our Bremen Elementary-Middle School Robotics Club. We have enough robots for seven robot teams in our club at this time. We will meet every Wednesday after school from 3:15 to 4:15 beginning September 5, 2018 and going through March of 2019. If you would like your child to be involved in BEMS Robotics, there are some things you need to know. We need you to pick up your child promptly at 4:15 each Wednesday unless you make other plans with your child for that time. There are also some Saturdays that we will have meets, and we need parent help with transportation and supervision with each event. There will be some cost to you. Cost includes team shirt, possible small after school snack on practice days for your child, and meet needs such as transportation and food for each event. In the VEX Competitions, presented by the Robotics Education & Competition Foundation, teams of students are tasked with designing and building a robot to play with other teams from area schools and around the world in a game-based engineering challenge. Classroom STEM concepts are put to the test on the playing field as students learn lifelong skills in teamwork, leadership, communications, and more. Tournaments are held year-round at the regional, state, and national levels; local champions go on to compete against the best in the world at VEX Worlds each April! If you want to learn more about the program, please visit the website at https://www.vexrobotics.com/vexiq. If you are interested, our first practice is Wednesday, September 5, to learn more about BEMS Robotics and the 2018-2019 VEX IQ Challenge. We will meet in Mrs. Wright’s classroom, room 16, at 3:15. If you are interested, please sign and return the bottom of this letter or send me an email at [email protected]. Sincerely, Mrs. Kacey Wright _____My son/daughter will attend on 9/5/18. _____My son/daughter and I will attend on 9/5/18. _________________________ _________________________ Parent/Guardian Signature Name of Student
