Will V, Ian, and Pete are trying to finalize the helmet designs so we can have the stickers printed as soon as possible. Corbin and Aiden are counting and splitting our profit so it can be deposited today. Ian worked on the excel sheet and added our new profit from yesterday’s sales. Will A and Josh have found someone who will buy the camera we asked for. The team took a team vote on which helmet designs we like best. The purpose of this vote was to eliminate some designs we didn’t like. We had a party for working so hard, and we would like to thank Christina’s mom for being really kind and bringing in donuts and cookies. We had the party today instead of tomorrow because we will be busy and won’t be in Greenpower tomorrow. We are about to leave for break so we are finalizing any of our plans for the next semester and year.
