We are thrilled to announce that four Abbotsford School District "Heroes in Education" have been featured in a special publication in the Abbotsford News for their exceptional work and dedication to education.

Congratulations to the following:

Nicole Longpre - Teacher at Centennial Park Elementary
She got into assistance work about seven years ago, and now instead of a full classroom, she has a day full of various duties. She helps students with designations like autism, and supports the kids who just need a boost with reading and writing.

The Challenge

The intent of the Tethered Mini-Sumo Robot Challenge is to introduce junior students to the varied field of Technology through the design, building and competing in an event that is fun and exciting. The Mini-sumo is an internationally standardized class of robotic competition, which has traditionally seen most competitions use a computer-programmed chip to control the robot. Our challenge has been adapted to use a tether and remote to control the robots.
