Today was our first FIRST Lego League scrimmage ! we had hundreds of of kids and their robots in the Shelbourne Community school. It was amazing\u00a0 to see all the excitement and creativity.\u00a0 The school was also filled with dedicated adults : parents, coaches, judges. Its a magical combination !

I left so inspired..\u00a0 I think you would to ..\u00a0
We have several more of these scrimmages and competitions coming through the year.. I’ll try to announce them ahead of time.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Late this afternoon Diane, Jen. Tim. Deb and I headed to Waterbury for the annual festival of lights. It was a beautiful night with a dusting of snow.\u00a0 before the parade, the town turned off the street lights.. then the town filled with lights.\u00a0 Kids and adults walked through carrying handmade lanterns. Some were simple. some\u00a0 were mazingly complicated.\u00a0<\/p>\n
