| We’re proud to fund an educational grant to Kevin this 2025 fall cycle. And we’re even prouder of ArrowDynamics FRC team 10079’s recent accomplishments! Read their words about a recent tournament: “At the PNW Glacier Peak Competition, in Snohomish…out of a field of 30 competing teams, Arrowdynamics finished the qualification rounds ranked 2nd overall. We received 2 awards, District Event Finalist, and Rising All Star. And ranked 8th out of 126 teams in the Pacific Northwest after week 2! Our team won the Rising All Star Award, recognizing our growth and success as a young team both on the field and out in our community! To go from a rookie team to captaining a top-seeded alliance in just one year is a testament to the hard work of our students and the incredible support of our community. ” Congrats to all the students and leaders!
