With striped ears and tails, the Tahoe Tigers were dressed to impress, but what really set them apart on the road to a regional competition was their kindness and teamwork.
“The way that they cared for each other and had fun together through all of the challenges,” teacher Trina Kleinhenz said, “played a huge role in their success this year.”
The Incline Elementary School’s LEGO Robotics Team, consisting of 10 4th and 5th graders, recently qualified for and competed in the Northern Nevada Championships on Dec. 13 at Mendive Middle School in Sparks, Nev. A competition on Nov. 22 qualified the team for the event.
