Last weekend, Fayetteville High School hosted the VEX V5 Robotics Competition, where 38 high school and 15 middle school teams from across the region competed in intense 2v2 robot battles! Organized by DogByte Robotics, the event showcased creativity, teamwork, and problem-solving as students worked with mentors to design and build innovative robots. 🌍🤖
Seven of our highschool teams made it to elimination rounds and one made it to semifinals. Three district middle school teams made it to elimination rounds with one making it to semifinals. Middle School Team 7187R, the "High Steaks" team, qualified for the State Championship in March.
A special thanks to the over 150 dedicated volunteers that kept the competition running smoothly.

Holt Middle School held its annual Financial Literacy Day today where students learned about real life! Fifth and sixth-grade students randomly selected a family and a job and learned how to write checks and create a budget. Students dressed up as their career and roamed from booth to booth making decisions about how to spend their money. Booths included housing, transportation, food, child care, and much more. Close to 80 parents and community volunteers were at Holt on Wednesday to help students with these decisions.
A big thank you to Lauren Wilson and J.B. Hunt Transport Services, Inc. who collaborated with math teacher Tammy Toomey and brought a semi-truck and driver for the students to explore as well as several employees to work with Holt students. What an eye-opening experience!
