On July 23, 5 out of 6 of the Street family, members of Enrich, participated in the Taekwondo America Regional Tournament in Knoxville, TN.  All  brought home medals in their divisions!  Here are the results:

Our students performed admirably under  high pressure circumstances at their very first tournament and worked extremely hard all through the year! Our team members received medals in three events. 

Our team consisted of fourteen extremely bright and talented individuals and each one brought something really special to our team. They competed with 60 other teams  at UNC Charlotte's Halton Arena on May 23, 2011. Team members are: Michael, Dorian, Rumaysa, Assiya, Mia, Maddie, Max, Hallie, Evie, Victoria P., Victoria H., Lianna, Garreth, and Sarah. 

The Team participated in 18 events: 321 Blast Off!, All Charged Up, Backyard Botany, Describe It Build It, Measurement Mania, Weather Permitting, Animal Adaptations, Bone and Brawn, First In Flight, Interdependence Day, Land Formers, Secret Structures, Egg Drop, Newton's Notions, Pasta Tower, Rock Star, Science Password/Clue,  and Skyquest.

Our medal winners were: 

Maddy and Mia - Science Clue - 1st Place

Maddy and Hallie - Land Formers - 7th Place

Sarah and Lianna - Secret Structures - 6th Place

Our entire team performed admirably, working hard throughout the year and at the competition.  Their team spirit was evident to all.  I am really looking forward to next year being an even bigger and better learning experience for Team Fusion Division A!

Science Club may have been cancelled this month, but that doesn't stop the science (though it can slow it down)! We've gone and recorded the session that was supposed to occur and even taped the experiment itself! You can get both parts of the video in our YouTube channel (or pick 'em up in our embeds below)!

Remember to check our Friends of Enrich and Enrich mailing lists for October's Science Club!

Science Club kicks off this Sunday at 2pm at the Davis' home (backyard technically). We'll be kicking off our Physics 101 unit with "Distance, Velocity and Acceleration" which should be a fun and light way for everyone to get onto the swing of things. We will need students to bring a toy car (Matchbox or Hot Wheels sized), a stopwatch (of some kind - one built into a phone or watch is fine) and a tape measure. We will be doing a bit of math in the main session (division is the highest level required and students will be in groups) with the younger set doing some basic measuring. We don't expect to run late, so we should wrap up at about 3:15!

We do need parents to RSVP (respond to this notice) so that we can send them directions and a copy of the standard release waiver for Science Club. Also, if you have a student who would like to hang out for the advanced material at the end of the meeting, please include that in your RSVP (along with an indication of what level of math is suitable).  Send those responses to rjstreet@newmyths.org

We look forward to seeing everyone and racing some cars and firing off some rockets!
