ROBOTS in READY


The ultimate goal of READY ( a twice weekly program) is to encourage students to have a lifelong positive attitude towards reading and to increase literacy skills.


This past week in READY and Middle School Clubs, our students had the opportunity to put their robotics skills to the test, as they built tin can robots! Students worked in groups of 3:1 with an adult volunteer to help assist with assembly and delegating tasks. Each of our future roboticists participated in the project from reading directions to installing nuts and bolts, connecting various wires, or even sticking on googly eyes. The staff and volunteers were in awe of not only how skilled our students were at building, but also how well they worked together!
You can only imagine the anticipation and pure joy radiating from each team as they installed the last bolt, and flipped the switch to make their bots come to life.

  • The finished product! The kids named him BOB.

    We’re still in awe of the incredible work the Motorola Solutions Foundation did to upgrade our Carpenter’s Square Campus! They didn’t just show up and sprinkle a little paint around—they went to town! First, they transformed our pavilion, perfect for outdoor classes or impromptu picnic lunches.. Then they added beautiful new tables, giving our students comfortable and functional spaces to gather, study, and chat. They didn’t stop there—they put in a whiteboard outside so now our students can learn while soaking up some sunshine. To top it off, they spread mulch like pros and planted greenery that has made the whole campus feel more inviting and fresh. The best part? The whole Motorola team brought so much joy and energy to the project, and it was clear they genuinely cared about making a difference. Special thanks to Kenny, who was there every step of the way and even came to our annual dinner to say such encouraging words. Motorola, you’ve made a huge impact, and we’re so thankful you chose us to receive your support. You’ve turned our campus into a space that feels even more like home!
