Good morning, fellow grizzlies! Today, we are making improvements! We are thinking of improvements to our power point, car, race, and behavior. The way we acted at the race was unacceptable and bad sportsmanship. We need a huge improvement in how we act inside the classroom and outside at functions/races.
Behavior Our behavior is very important to us and to our peers. It can represent our team and school! If it's bad behavior, we do not want our school and/or team looking like we are stuck up and selfish. Winning is not the important thing about the race. It is the fact that we used team work and cooperation to be eligible to race. Winning is substantial to if you use that cooperation and teamwork wisely. You have to think quick on your feet during the race because you do not have much time to wrap your head around all the things that are going on. Therefore, our behavior plays a big part in race day and functions. The Car Another thing that is important during the race is our function of our car and if it works or not. There would be no race if there is no functioning vehicle. That's basically the point of the whole entire race. The importance of the car is for it to be able to race. That being said, we have to have it the best of the best, meaning no flaws once so ever. Our aerodynamics must be top notch and able to push us at our best speed. Our speed for this year was 18.8 mph. We need improvements because the fastest lap was 19.3, I believe. So, aerodynamics is also a huge part in how we function during the race and/or practicing. Fundraising Finally, our last thing that we need to function is fundraising. We wouldn't be able to purchase any of the things we need to improve our aerodynamics. It's important to have fundraising because we would have to have money and extra money left our for things that are not needs. Sponsorship is important too! You can actually get more money with sponsorship than you can get with fundraising. Sponsorship is for either person to team or corporation to our team. Fundraising, you would have to give a certain percentage to the company or person that helped you raise that money. For example, Chick-fil-a Spirit Nights require us to share the profits because they cooked the food and allowed us to be there. They are both great ways to make and bring in money! They are also very important for functioning at all. We wouldn't be anywhere with out it. Again, we think we did well during the race and we did. There is just one catch though, we could of done way better if we made these improvements earlier during the race. We could of changed our ways and won the race. Like I said, winning isn't and wasn't the important thing at the time. I am still very proud of our team and really glad that we at least placed. We used great cooperation skills and stayed together. Either a little distraught or distracted, we are always cooperating together to improve either ourselves or each other. With more to come, Green Grizzlies
