Nighthawk Robotics Would you look at that! Technology has provided us with the opportunity to watch our Fulton & Alsbury Nighthawks Robotics Team LIVE in Kentucky! Our Nighthawk team is currently in Louisville, Kentucky competing against other VEX robotics from all over the world! According to the website, vexro-botics.com, over 10,000 teams from 32 countries playing in over 750 tournaments. Just being able to attend and compete is a huge honor! This would not be possible without the support of the staff, parents and sponsors!

Dance Force

Dance Force just finished their AVC competition in March and those dancing feet will not stop! Now they are back in their practice routine, practicing their formation dance. They performed their formation dance at the Poppy Festival recently in front of a crowd of 100 people!
