MILE HIGH ACADEMY ROBOTICS TEAM SCORES BIG IN FLORIDA

RMCNews with Rebecca Berg – Highlands Ranch, Colorado … RoboStangs, the robotics team from Mile High Academy, won second place at the First Tech Challenge (FTC) Adventist Robotic league competition at Forest Lake Academy in Florida.

Robotics is a year-long elective class where students work together to build a robot to compete in this competition. The task given the robot this year was to move blocks and other objects to a three-tiered tower. The teams could also earn points by spinning a horizontal wheel that could be loaded with rubber duckies, and each rubber ducky they successfully got into the arena earned them points.

Reflecting on the event, MHA junior Seth said, “It was a really fun experience driving the robot, meeting other robotics teams, and talking to them about their designs. Our team did so much better than I could have imagined, and I am proud of the work we did.”

FUN RUN PAYS OFF FOR IAA

By Sandi Adcox – Grand Junction, Colorado … The numbers are in, and they exceeded expectations from last month’s Elevate Kids fun run in Grand Junction. Intermountain Adventist Academy (IAA) and Kids Aid split the $14,000 raised by the event.

IAA plans to use its share of the profits to help expand the school and to offer ninth and tenth grades in the 2022 – 2023 school year.

Elevate Kids, a non-profit organization created by IAA board chairman, Doug McCaw II, and his wife, Melinda, aims to “help kids one step at a time.” Their first fundraiser was a documentary, “Chasing the Sky,” capturing the McCaw’s 490-mile, 18-day run on the Colorado Trail in July 2020.

REFLECTION: THE LORD STIRRED CYRUS

By Lester Bentley … “Now in the first year of Cyrus king of Persia, that the word of the LORD by the mouth of Jeremiah might be fulfilled, the LORD stirred up the spirit of Cyrus king of Persia, so that he made a proclamation throughout all his kingdom, and also put it in writing saying, Thus says Cyrus king of Persia: All the kingdoms of the earth the LORD God of heaven has given me. And He has commanded me to build Him a house at Jerusalem which is in Judah.”  (Ezra 1:1, 2)

“The LORD stirred up the spirit of Cyrus.” The Lord can stir the hearts of kings. “The king’s heart is in the hand of the LORD, as the rivers of water: He turns it whithersoever He will.” (Proverbs 21:1)

We may not have access to the king or the ruler of the land, but we may pray as Daniel did, and God can touch the heart and spirit of the king on his throne.
