Dear Family and Friends,
The NY Yankees will honor
the Morris High School FIRST Robotics team on
Tuesday May 2 at 6:45pm on the field during a pregame ceremony prior to the
7:05pm ball game against the Toronto Blue Jays. This will be the 16th year
in a row that the team has been honored on the field at Yankee Stadium. ;
This will be our ninth year on the field at
the new stadium (2009-2017) (Photos 6-9)
In the old Yankee Stadium the team was honored
for seven years (2002-2008) (Photos 3-5)
The team was invited to the 2006
groundbreaking ceremony for the new stadium. (Photos 1-2)
During this year's pregame ceremony the stadium public
address announcer will tell the crowd that at 2017 ;New York City FIRST Regional
Robotics Competition held at the NYC Armory Track in
March,the Morris Robotics team reached the quarterfinals. In addition Paul
Lucien, one of the team's lead engineer won the Woodie Flowers Award
which is presented to an outstanding mentor in the robotics competition who
best leads, inspires, teaches, and empowers their team using excellent
communication skills.

In addition to being honored on the field
every year since 2002, the Yankees organization has supported the team so we
have been able to compete in Houston, Orlando, Kennedy Space Center, Atlanta,
St. Louis, Washington D.C, Richmond, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Rochester,
Hartford, and of course for 16 years in NYC.
Warm regards,
Gary
PS.There are over 3,000 FIRST Robotics Teams
in the U.S and around the world and I am proud to say that we are the only team
that has permission to use the Yankee logo on our shirts, hats etc.
