We are looking for some chaperones to accompany us on this trip. Please contact Jenna Martin at jenna.martin@austinisd.org if you are interested in coming along. Information and permission slips are being sent home through Social Studies beginning on Thursday, October 13th. roboARTS-New Club for 6th Grade Students roboARTS is a unique after school program for 6th graders that brings together students who are interested in building and programming robots, with those who are passionate about creative writing, music and performance.
