Good Luck and Farewell!

Once again, congrats on winning first place at the competition! It was really fun to work with you guys. Maybe next year you guys can come back and help coach the new Weather or Not students.

Also, if you guys read this, it would be great if you guys could comment below on the topics that were tested at the competition. I am reformatting the entire packet for next year, so it would be nice to know what to emphasize on.

Thank you guys for everything... hopefully we can meet again next year!

Congratulations!

Congratulations on winning 1st place at the competition! I knew you guys were going to win. :)

I might bring something to the final meeting if I can make it. I'm not completely certain on what to do yet, but hopefully I can find something nice.

IMPORTANT: Fill out your answers to the practice multiple choice that I posted daily for the last month. If you get all the questions correct, I'll give you something big (maybe)!
