Students Practicing Acts of Respect and Kindness

SeaKings Families,
 
All eyes were on Lebron James last week as he broke the all-time NBA scoring record set by Kareem Abdul-Jabar which stood for 39 years. Why is it important, and what does it have to do with PVIS students?
 
Breaking a record of any kind is inspiring and especially for kids. Their youthful exuberance makes them feel they can do it too. They may not become the next Lebron James or Mia Hamm but, there is a supreme value in trying and striving for excellence.
 
Adults on another level, see another person do something extraordinary and feel a connection on a human-to-human level. I read Kareem Abdul Jabar's blog about the recording-breaking event and he said it best "seeing something impossible done, is a reminder to us that if one person can do it- then somehow we all share in that achievement."
 
Connections, HumanKind, and Dedication!
 
Micah J. Farrell, Principal

STEM Robot Sumo Contest Winners!

f

In this double-elimination tournament, each team/robot tries to push the other robot off a raised circular platform. Mr. Garman said this was the most amazing match he had ever seen. The 2 robots met in the center of the ring and it looked dead even for a few seconds. Then the boy's robot started slowly pushing the girl's robot backward. The rear wheels of the girl"s bot slide off the platform and the robot tilted backward. The light sensor on the front of the boy's robot detected the edge of the platform so it stopped and backed up. The girl's robot climbed back onto the platform and flew across the platform catching the retreating boys' robot as it started to turn. Pushed the boy's robot sideways off of the platform!
