This was the first time I had ever offered a prayer before the start of a robotics competition. Thankfully, our coach provided me a script. This was an opportunity to learn about the patron saints of some specific disciplines. (As a side note--"Coopertition is an intentional combination of words.)
It was my pleasure to welcome competitors to Saint Albert Catholic Schools this afternoon from seven schools in Nebraska--Humboldt, Humphrey, and five schools from Omaha. Several schools from Iowa in addition to our two teams from Saint Albert also joined us. We had Iowa teams from Villisca, Creston, and Diagonol. I have a lot to learn yet about robotics competitions, but it was fun afternoon watching the talents of our students on display. This was the first time I had ever offered a prayer before the start of a robotics competition. Thankfully, our coach provided me a script. This was an opportunity to learn about the patron saints of some specific disciplines. (As a side note--"Coopertition is an intentional combination of words.) Once again, I extend my gratitude to all of the teachers, parents, and volunteers who make things like this happen. The gift of your time and talent in helping our young people experience new things is noteworthy. Thank you.
