Thank you to Reinke Manufacturing for their continued support of the Republic County Robotics Team. Their support over the last two years has allowed the team to purchase materials to build a practice course and advanced tools to build the robots. This in turn has helped the team move on to Regional Competition this year. Their support of the Robotics team was featured in their recent newsletter, setting a great example of how community support makes a big difference in the classroom. Thank you to Reinke Manufacturing for your support of Republic County High School.
