The best day in any project, TEST DAY! The Technology Club crew built two fully functioning RC power wheels that wound up being faster than we thought they would. We converted an electric mini bike to run off drill batteries and gained a little power. We are still working on the EV shifter kart but the kids had a great time and made some really cool projects in our first year with this new club. Overall we had a great afternoon of playing with all the new toys we made. Great job Technology Club looking forward to what we come up with for next year. Thank you to the parents at pickup up yesterday for your patience while we took up half the parking lot. A huge thank you to all of you who donated parts and power wheels so we could make this project happen.

A huge thank you to Thor Labs for their donation of aluminum and stainless cutoffs from their machine shop for our Tech Lab. It would have been very difficult to fit these materials in the budget let alone this amount. Now we can teach the basics and make the parts we need for some of our bigger projects and still have plenty of room for even more crazy ideas. THANK YOU!

CHILD FIND
Federal and State Legislation mandates this service be provided to Disabled Children ages 2 to 21. Frankford Township School offers services to disabled children ages 3 to 21 using a multidisciplinary approach. Children who are having significant difficulty in school may be referred to the Child Study Team by parents or appropriate school personnel. Children ages 3-5 who are experiencing a physical, sensory, emotional, communication, cognitive or social difficulty or a measurable developmental impairment may require special education and related services. The term Preschool Disabled means there is an identified, disabling condition and /or measurable developmental impairment that requires special education and related services.
If the parents are concerned about their child’s program, they should feel free to discuss a referral to the Child Study Team with their child’s teacher, guidance counselor, or administrator.
