Coach Mark Morey and the Dover AFB Middle School Robotics Team once again wowed the Colonial Rotary Club last week! The Team competes on the world stage, taking on robotics innovation challenges against students from around the globe! To continue building, learning, competing, and inspiring the next generation of STEM leaders, the team relies on community support and sponsorships.

Deleila Alloui, the Milton Hershey School's Mid Atlantic Regional Recruiter for "Houseparents" will be our special guest at this Friday's Club meeting. "Houseparents", are adult caregivers that live full-time in a student home on campus and function much like a foster parent / residential parent for a group of students.

Founded in 1909 by Milton S. Hershey (yes: THAT Milton Hershey - the chocolate magnate!) and his wife Catherine after they were unable to have children of their own, the school gives underprivileged children stable home, education, and opportunities. It is often cited as one of the most successful philanthropic educational institutions in U.S. history.
