From PCS, 18 of our 24 Middle and High School teams competed and received 7 awards collectively. Way to go, Trojans!
ELEMENTARY: The action was not limited to our Middle and High School students, as three of our nine Elementary School teams also competed at a VEX IQ Tournament in Hudsonville. This was a first for many of the 4th and 5th grade students and their coaches. Congratulations to Elementary teams: Cobra, Ditto Ms and Koalabots on a great competition.
We are incredibly proud of all of our Robotics teams for their hard work and dedication - thank you for representing PCS with Trojan Pride!
