RFMS Families! 📣 Quick Reminder: ✍️ Tomorrow (4/1): AASA Writing Test. Arrive on time & rested! ⏰ Attendance and effort are very important as this test helps determine class placement for next year. Please encourage your student to do their best. Avoid early checkouts as once the test has started, it must be finished or it won't be counted and cannot be made up.
¡Familias de RFMS! 📣 Recordatorio rápido: ✍️ Mañana (4/1): Examen de escritura AASA. ¡Lleguen a tiempo y descansados! ⏰ La asistencia y el esfuerzo son muy importantes, porque este examen ayuda a determinar la asignación de clases para el próximo año.

Day ten of our trip didn't go exactly as planned but that's ok. We started with breakfast at McDonald's and then saw the world's second largest hammer. After that it was a series of neat misses. We were supposed to see a 30 ft robot in Santa Fe, but for rerouted due to an accident, we missed Petroglyph National Monument due to trying to see a roadside classic car museum that is no longer there. We did have Blake's Lota Burger for lunch and Chile Chicken for dinner. Tomorrow we will finish our trip.
Day nine of the RoboColts trip. We left Iowa early this morning and made it all the way to Denver. We saw the Archway Museum, ate lunch at Runza, explored downtown Denver, stopped by Casa Bonita, and had dinner at Panda Express. Off to Albuquerque in the morning.
You can follow the RoboColts in action today and Saturday while they compete in the US Open in Iowa. Go to this link and scroll down to the Middle School section. Team 4461A is the red division and team 4461B is in the blue division.

Day six of our trip was the first day of the tournament for skills only. Both teams passed inspections quickly and got their skills runs in. Before the competition the kids pushed the last snowball down the hill. We also swung by DQ for free small cone day! Tomorrow is the first day of qualification rounds.
Day five of the RoboColts trip was action packed. We started with breakfast pizza from Casey's, a trip to the Lauritzen Gardens to see the trolls, we scoped out the high school robotics tournament, had lunch at PepperJax, got the annual bag haircuts, took ATV rides around the property, played with the last of the remaining snow, dinner at Pizza Ranch where Selman knocked down a PR of 20 over cream cones. We closed the night with a trip over the walking bridge. We begin our tournament tomorrow afternoon!

Fun event for families, we hope to see you there.
Day four of the RoboColts journey to Iowa was a full day. Not only did we get to see it snow, but we also saw the Black Angel statue, the Abraham Lincoln Lookout, the Dodge House, lunch at Taco John's, the Durham Museum, World's Largest Ball of Stamps, a part of the original Lincoln Highway, Hollywood Candy, and dinner at California Tacos from Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives
Today was day 3 of the RoboColts road trip and we finally made it to Iowa. Our first stop off the day was at the very first Pizza Hut, lunch at Spangles, a cool experience at the Whispering Bench, and finally pizza at our destination in Council Bluffs.
