Robots Shelve Library Club
The Board of Education approved the Lego club upon the principal's recommendation. The club will take part in a robotics competition that operates like the high school version, with robots expected to carry out various tasks. In Newfane, the high school team is known as the Circuit Stompers.
The Charlottesville Masonic Lodge 73 donated $330 to get the Lego club up and running. The stipend for the club adviser is $760, the same as was budgeted for the Library Club adviser.
