Good morning, Grizzlies! Today is Friday, February 5, 2016. We are in the classroom today. We are working on practicing the presentation. Like every other day this week (besides Monday), we have been in the classroom practicing our presentation and working on discussing questions that might be asked by the judges. It is so important that we practice and I know I explain this in every blog, but it really is important that we practice. I think it’s really important because it allows us to be prepared and ready other than being scrambled and unprepared. The judges will see us as responsible and that’s what we really need. We have to remember that our team and our actions reflect upon our car and school. We do not want to make our school and car look bad. It would be bad for us and we would get nowhere. Therefore, let us be prepared for the presentation and be able to professionally answer questions that may or may not be asked. I hope that we all practice enough and believe that we will succeed. I think confidence is one thing that judges love to see other than preparedness. They like seeing the groups believe in themselves and work hard to produce a great outcome. I see a lot of confidence in Greenpower. Not only our team, but a lot of other teams have a lot of confidence and that’s really important. Also, we have a Spirit Night coming up! The date of the event is Tuesday, March 1st, 2016. It would be held from 5:00PM- 8:00PM. We hope everyone makes it to the Spirit Night. We love seeing everyone participate in events that raise money, not for us for local businesses that allow us to hold the event there. We are really lucky to be able to have a great place to hold the event and we are very thankful for that. We are also thankful for everyone that comes to our Spirit Nights. Some nights there are a lot of sport events going on. Not only with our school, but some our peers have a sibling that play for a sports team. We have a bigger chance to make more money for improvements to our car. We are really thankful for the money we have made so far. We are not just here for the money and I don’t want to get any misconception from anyone, but the important part is what we are making the money for. We aren’t all about money and winning. I think people over look us sometimes and think that because we are young that that’s all we want and it’s not. We want to succeed and take part in our future right now. We want to be prepared for our lives for the future, instead of getting nowhere in life. Therefore, the Spirit Nights are super important to us and the people that help us make money for improvements and support us. We really appreciate it! Black History Month: Dr. Charles Drew was born on June 3rd, 1904 and died on April 1st, 1950. He was mostly known for using methods to create ways to process and storing blood plasma in blood banks. He directed the blood plasma programs in of United States and Great Britain in World War II, but resigned after he figured out that the blood of the African- Americans would be segregated. I think he was a great idol to the people in STEM. He was a Doctor/Surgeon. Without him, we wouldn’t have anywhere to get blood that we need when we lost too much blood. We are so thankful of him and his discoveries. Joke of the day: Q: What did the light bulb say to the other light bulb? A: I love you a watt! Come back Monday for another blog update! With more to come, Carlee from Green Grizzlies "I feel that the recent ruling of the United States Army and Navy regarding the refusal of colored blood donors is an indefensible one from any point of view. As you know, there is no scientific basis for the separation of the bloods of different races except on the basis of the individual blood types or groups." Dr. Charles Drew
