Hello Bear Family!
From the desk of Ms. Andrada, STEM/Robotics Teacher
Appreciation Post-Lego Robotics Team

We may not have brought home the trophy, but our LEGO Robotics team walked away with something far more powerful—experience, growth, teamwork, and unforgettable memories.
This regional competition, held in Simpsonville on February 7, 2026, challenged us to think deeper, solve harder problems, communicate better, and support one another every step of the way. Our students showed resilience, creativity, and true sportsmanship—even in tough moments—and that is something to be incredibly proud of.
To our amazing team: thank you for your hard work, long hours, determination, and heart. You represented yourselves, your school, and your community with pride. This is not the end—this is just part of our journey.
Special thanks to the Village Group for their generosity in providing the materials we used for the competition, which allowed our team to clearly present and showcase our work to the judges. We are also deeply grateful to the parents who provided lunch and to all the parents who continuously supported, encouraged, and stayed with us every step of the way. Your kindness and presence truly made a difference.
Thank you to our admins, mentors and supporters who believed in us and stood by us throughout this experience. Your encouragement means everything.
We rise, we learn, and we come back stronger. 🚀🤖

Carvers Bay Middle STEAM Academy is incredibly grateful for your generous support of our LEGO Robotics Team. Your donation of new equipment will have a powerful impact on our students as they prepare for the First LEGO League West Regional Tournament.

Because of partners like you, our scholars are able to dream bigger, build stronger, and see themselves as future engineers, innovators, and problem-solvers. Your belief in our students and in the power of community truly shows that it takes a village to help our Bears thrive.
