Mrs. Judy Stuckey, their advisor, will accompany the group on this trip.The journey to Colorado will not be as big of an adventure as last summer’s trip to San Diego, but the students are excited for the opportunity to compete and grateful that the fundraising for this year’s trip will be much less taxing.
