Beginning of Week 8

This week we hope to start selling cookies after school. We have yet to determine which day we will be doing the cookie sales. Once we get the approval from Mrs Henschel we will be able to go into full swing with the cookie sales and hopefully make a substantial amount of money to help lessen the financial burdens for our team.

At the end of the week, we also plan to attend a meet at Western high school to meet other teams, discuss ideas, and hopefully find sponsorship contacts and opportunities. We hope to learn a great deal from the other teams, as well as share our own incite where ever we can.
