the Winning 1st place MeSA Robotics invitational champions with their winning robots and mission board for 2017 and last year's 2016 trophy (from left): robert Del Greceo, William odom, Dr. ray Bryson, julia Kearney, Victor navarro, juan Loza, and araseli Munoz. pushing up broken and taped glasses; the Big Bang Theory’s Sheldon Cooper clone spouting facts with little emotion towards others; or the quiet nerd girl with stacks of books to hide behind. A visit to Rialto’s Kucera
Middle School Robotic’s Program quickly breaks those stereotypes as students are engaged with a great dose of excitement and enthusiasm. Ray Bryson, robotic’s program director, is a low-key and kind of
unassuming sort. The minute he enters the classroom with the students though, his eyes light up and a great big smile never seems to leave his face. Robotics, cont. on next pg.

Rialto unified School District elementary school spelling bee took place at Rialto high School on thursday, nov. 30. pictured are all spelling bee participants. he Elementary Spelling Bee was held yesterday, November 30, at Rialto High School. The air was tense and competition was fierce as
master spellers from all 19 elementary schools tackled complicated words in an effort to bring spelling victory back to their schools. The competition was
divided into three rounds, which included a practice round, elimination round and championship round. The winning word was “altruism.” At the end of the com-
petition, the top spellers were awarded certificates and trophies in front of a crowd of cheering parents and staff. (Additional photos on pg. 2)
