We built these race cars 🚘 with our STEAM TEAM, and my room is running out of quality space to display them, so we got clever and maximized this space just below the ceiling!
There are still tons of 👀 looking and fingers pointing as they say their projects are on the wall!

I tip my cap 🧢 to the team, which committed to 8 practices a week for a month to improve their game and compete for a banner.
They put in the work, improved immensely, and played phenomenal volleyball. Unfortunately, we lost today in the quarter-finals to end our season.
