RSVP for Our Volunteer Appreciation Event

Congratulations, Evergreen Robotics!

We are so incredibly proud of all of our EMS PTSA Robotics students who competed May 8–10 at the 2022 VEX IQ World Championship in Dallas, Texas. Every competing team brought home at least one award! As is tradition, when one team wins the Excellence Award at VEX World, the entire organization is recognized as the recipient. This year, EMS PTSA Robotics Club was immensely honored to receive this, the highest award given in the VEX Robotics Middle School program!
