The EHS Robotics team is excited about this year’s competition at MS BEST in Starkville. Plans are being made now to cover the upcoming materials and expenses needed to be able to compete on the state level as well as in Auburn in the event the team advances to regionals again. They did very well last year and are expecting great accomplishments this year also.
To help raise the $12k needed for the materials, supplies & travel expenses for the competition, the EHS Robotics team has opted out of “selling” and has chosen to do the “Envelope Fundraiser.” For those of you who are not familiar with this fundraiser, it is very easy & effective!
There are 150 envelopes, each numbered 1-150. Simply choose the number you have prayerfully considered and put the money in the envelope you selected. If all the envelopes are filled, it’s $10,000! It’s that simple! The best part is there is no buying, selling or delivering products.
Please prayerfully consider helping this amazing team of young people accomplish their goal! “Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver...
You will be enriched in every way so that you can be generous on every occasion, and through us your generosity will result in thanksgiving to God.”
2 Corinthians 9:7,11
