Good morning, Grizzlies! Today is Monday, February 22, 2016. We are in the classroom. We discussed many things today as a group. We talked about going to a race in Madison City called the “Mad City” race. We decided as a group that we were not going to do the race. We said that it was too much of a risk and if we did mess our car up in the race that we would only have 12 days to fix it and that would not be enough time. We want to be able to go to the race on April 23rd. That being said, we are not going. However, we came up with an idea of hosting our own race at Whitesburg sometime in March. I think that it’s a great idea and that we should do it instead of risking our car’s life. I think that it would be great because it would give us practice with people that want to try to drive. Another reason we don’t want to do “Mad City” is that the track is a running track and there would be a lot of cars and not a lot of space. We really do not want to wreck or hurt our car because we have worked so hard on it. If we had more time to fix the injuries to our car, then maybe that would increase our chances of going, but not giving it an exact yes. I think it’s a hard decision to make because we want so much practice and we don’t want to hurt our car. We hope we can host our own race and get in some practice. I also think that we are going to the shop tomorrow. I think that we are driving tomorrow. I do not know if it is this Tuesday or next, but Mr. Cruise is coming to get two other batteries. He did tests on two of our batteries and we found out which one if more efficient for our car. It showed significant difference in the voltage and the improvements. I think it’s great that we are getting help from someone. We cannot wait to see how the outcome looks and we hope to get helpful data on our batteries. 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. Black History Month: Lewis Howard Latimer was an African-American inventor who was a member of Thomas Edison’s research team called “Edison’s Pioneers.” He was born in 1848 and died in 1928. He is mostly known for improving the incandescent lightbulb by inventing carbon filament. We are very thankful he improved this invention because we use lightbulbs today! We will always remember him for his great work and we will never forget him. He is gone, but never forgotten!
