The Broken Cheems were 1 of 54 middle school teams to compete at the MN State Robotics Competition. They played 8 qualifying rounds where they were ranked 14th out of 54! They were part of the first round of elimination matches, but they were unable to advance further in the competition. Great job to the Broken Cheems, and great job to all of the robotics students for this year as the season comes to a close.
The second and third-grade music performance was absolutely wonderful! Thank you to everyone who attended and helped make this event so special. A huge shoutout to Miss Hamvas for her hard work and dedication in bringing it all together!
