Winter Weather:
School Start Time
Parents and students, we would ask that you continue to do
your best and plan ahead with winter weather and driving conditions as you come
to school in the morning. Please be safe
in your travels to and from school daily and take your time, however we would
ask that you please do your best to plan ahead in the mornings so that we can
get all students here on time and classes running without disruptions staring
at 7:45am. We appreciate your efforts
with this!
Thanks,
Mr. Blomgren

exams.

ROBOTICS:
This past
Saturday, about 50 SJHS students and Mentors saw the "FIRST" Robotics
game reveal for 2017 at Lake Michigan College. The game
"Steamworks", has an Industrial Revolution theme with robots placing
gears, loading balls (fuel) into boilers and climbing ropes. The Average
Joes will be working hard over the next 6 weeks to design and build their best
ideas on how to score the most points. The St. Joseph District Event will
be March 10 & 11, 2017, where 40 Robotics teams from across the State will compete and
set up pit areas in our gyms.
