Won our league in the opening round!


Made it to the Top 20 in the 2011 SIFE National Exposition! We will be presenting again on Thursday at 11:05 a.m. The awards ceremony was a lot of fun. Our treasurer, Estefania Mones, received recognition for two scholarships and Michelle Olson-Rogers received the SIFE Alumna of the Year award! The team spent last night enjoying a dinner and reviewing the judging sheets from the last round. The visual received a number of good comments; overall, it was great!! Be sure to follow us on Twitter @FlaglerSIFE for updates throughout the day!

Nationals!


The team practicing the presentation in our hotel.

We safely arrived in Minneapolis, MN! We have been enjoying the wonderful food options in the city and the cool weather. We travel around indoors through skyways or as we call them, "gerbil tunnels." Some of our alumni will be arriving tonight and we are really excited for the Rally of Champions tonight!!
 
We present tomorrow in the Opening Round at 11:20 a.m.

We will keep everyone posted!
