So a lot has happened since we have returned home!  The team was welcomed home by a fire truck from Alden and Conger and a whole caravan of people!  They took us around Conger and Alden and finally dropped us at the back of the school where Isaac, Jacob and Josh gave a short speech!  And the dancers showed their skills!  We have also hit the ground running on fund raising to help get the rest of the team to London.  There is a GoFundMe page set up and a burger basket night planned at the Alden Legion on May 13th from 5-8.  Please plan to attend and tell all your family and friends!

Please check back often for fundraising plans!

Thank you!!!

Having fun on the way home! The boys were intrigued by the pay phone! I was blown away by the fact it is now $0.50 to make a call!!!









Good morning! 😃 We stayed in Kalamazoo again last night. We are back on the road again and hoping to be home around supper time! A huge shout-out to all our sponsors! Thank you!

They did it!!! They won a trip to London!!!! They were the second team chosen! They got 1st place in the Urban Concept car with a best run of 525 mpg. They got second place in the Prototype E-100 with 1070 mpg! What an amazing group of boys we have - we were complimented from another team and the reps from Shell! Our school has so much to be proud of!!!!





















We are anxiously awaiting the awards ceremony to begin!!!




Today has been an exciting day! It has been back and forth between us and another team for the Urban car but I "think" we have 1st place! Fingers crossed!!!













The Prototype made it's 6th and final run! Unfortunately, it only got 796 mpg. We are unofficially in second place. Jacob Songstad did a fabulous job driving and all the kids pulled together and helped when needed!!!
