It has been a very hectic month for the Solar Knights!
We have all been working very hard to make as much progress as we can on the cars, as well as raise all of the funds we need to race. We have also participated in as many outreach events as we can and have raised over $1000! But unfortunately, we are still in desperate need for much more to cover race expenses.
Today, we met with out major corporate sponsor, Rob K. from AGT, along with Lisa and Kathy who help organized the Winterfest Parade annually. They have given us great advice for fundraising and marketing our program to raise all of the funds needed. We greatly appreciate all of their support so far!
On Saturday afternoon the team will be at the Sam's Club Bloc Party to raise money and present our new car to our community!
Please come out to support and tell all of your friends and family to come as well!
Thank you everyone who has helped us so far!
We will have new pictures up soon!

UPDATESSS!
HEY everyone!
It's been a while since we've posted anything.
We've been very busy with the new year and getting everything started.
We have decided on captains for the year and we are looking forward to all of the plans we have in store for the team
The official overall captain willll be.... DRUM ROLLLLL!
BEN ROSENTHAL!
he is a senior at SPHS and it's his second year being a Solar Knight.
We will have 3 co-captains which will be: Valeria Saetta, Evan Sadlon and Jessica Millar.
They are all committed to work very hard this year. So far, most have stayed after school every day calling it 8th period to do solar work. All of our hard work will hopefully pay off during the summer of 2011.
YAY we can't wait!

Race Finale
Hello,
We've been home for a little bit under a week. We're happy to say that we came in 2nd Place in the Classic Division of the Hunt Winston School Solar Car Challenge. We want to thank everyone that supported us throughout the race, all the towns we went through, and the wonderful organizers of the race. It was an awesome experience!
