Girl Scout Troop #50256 at EverGreen Elementary of the Western Wayne School District is giving back to their community! This incredible group of young ladies is having a bathrobe drive that will keep the residents of Julia Ribaudo Nursing Home warm and cozy this winter. The girls were doing volunteer hours at the nursing home and noticed many residents without robes so they decided to start a bathrobe drive to get them robes. The girls are looking to collect 100 robes for the residents before Christmas.

Team of Western Wayne, Honesdale students heads to world robotics competitionApril 24, 2024The robot zoomed across the floor at Honesdale High School, picking up orange rings called notes and spitting them into a wooden box called a speaker.
Students from Western Wayne and Honesdale high schools hope the robot can stand out among the best in the world.
The team built the robot this year and won the FIRST Mid-Atlantic Robotics Competition Regional Championship earlier this month. With the victory the team called the Camobots will compete at the world championship in Houston, Texas this week.
Teammates gathered Sunday at Honesdale High School, preparing for their trip. Jacob Schott, a senior from Western Wayne, said going to the competition is a dream.
“So for a lot of us being seniors, getting to go is like one last hurrah… it’s awesome,” he said.
The two schools came together 13 years ago to form the robotics team. As the emphasis on STEM subjects (science, technology, engineering and math) grows, more schools offer robotics programs to students. Last year, 3,340 teams of high school students from 32 countries competed in FIRST robotics.

Western Wayne / Honesdale HS Robotics Team Wins ChampionshipApril 18, 2024 This April the robotics team FRC 4285 Camobots (composed of Honesdale HS and Western Wayne HS students) competed at the FIRST Mid-Atlantic Robotics Competition Regional Championship and won. This is a huge endeavor and first-ever win at the FMA Regional Championship held at Lehigh University. The competition is three days (starting with inspection of the robot by teams of engineers, scouting of robot qualities, randomly competing with and against numerous teams, presentation to judge teams of CEO’s and engineers from companies, and finals team selection on the 3rd day). Our team was the 3rd selection of Alliance 2’s team. Our team had to play defense to shut down the other team’s top scoring robot and it worked (see attached video link and forward to timestamp). Alliance 2 won which was composed of us, a team from southern PA, and southern NJ. Further, our students involved work diligently in the offseason to secure funding from businesses along with the Department of Defense. Also, in the offseason the students are being trained up in fields of robot programming, CAD (AutoDesk Inventor), Engineering and Design, Electronics and Sensors, Automated machining, Automation and Game Play, Public Speaking, and numerous additional skill sets. Team Advisor and Western Wayne teacher Brian Landry wishes to thank everyone in both the Western Wayne and Honesdale School Districts and local community who helped the students achieve this tremendous goal. To better understand what competition is like, see attached information
