HMS Future LEGO League (FLL) Robotics Club

Funded Nov 11, 2024

I am writing to express my heartfelt gratitude for your generous donation to the FLL (First Lego League) Robotics Club at Henley Middle School. When I first considered starting this program, I wasn't sure it would be possible—but thanks to your support, we made it happen!

With your contributions, we were able to purchase four Spike Prime kits and four extension pack, giving our students the tools they need to explore robotics, coding, and teamwork. Our principal then provided additional funds to purchase this year's FLL challenge board, "Submerged," which has been an exciting addition to our learning experience.

What makes this journey even more special is the involvement of 3-5 high school mentors from Western who dedicate their time to guiding and inspiring our students during our weekly after-school meetings. Additionally, I offer a "Sting" option during the school day, allowing students who cannot attend after-school sessions to stay engaged and contribute to the team's success.

Our goal is to host an ACPS middle school robotics competition at the end of the school year at one of the high schools. Looking ahead, we are hopeful that next year we will be able to compete in an official FLL competition. None of this would have been possible without your kindness and generosity, and we are incredibly grateful for your support.

Thank you once again for believing in our students and helping us bring this program to life. Your contribution is making a lasting impact, and we truly appreciate you!”

With gratitude,

Mrs. Ackerman
