The IRS is spreading the word about unclaimed Child Tax Credit payments. As families are filing their 2022 tax returns, it's not too late to claim pandemic-related tax benefits. Those who may not have previously received or claimed tax credits still have time to file their 2020 and 2021 tax returns to take advantage of these credits.

This weekend at Kettering University your Freeland High School Robotics team, The Freeland Fabricators, were awarded The FIRST Impact Award - the most prestigious award given by FIRST Robotics. The Impact Award honors the team that best represents a model for other teams to emulate and best embodies the mission of FIRST. It is recognition years in the making of the real community impact that the Freeland Robotics program has been bringing to Freeland and the Great Lakes Bay Region since it’s inception.
The Freeland Fabricators (including students, mentors, families and sponsors) focus on more than just robotics competition (although, if you have not seen one, it is pretty thrilling!). They focus on developing well-rounded life capabilities including, creative problem-solving, leadership, communication, and most importantly, self-confidence and a sense of belonging. The robotics community is preparing young people for the future and want every kid to recognize their worth, abilities, and love who they are. Here are just a few things that your Freeland Fabricators have been doing in the community to give back, inspire, innovate, and help prepare youth to tackle the world’s greatest challenges:
• Volunteered over 1200 hours in the community
• Started Autism Understanding Through Outreach program (AUTO)
• Started 4 new First Lego League teams with 21 students
• Started a 2nd middle school FTC robotics team
• Increased participation in the robotics program 79% in 2022!
This is just a sample of the hard work your students, mentors and families are putting into the program and giving back to the community that supports them. Please take a moment to watch the Fabricators video submission for the FIRST Impact Award. CONGRATULATIONS FREELAND FABRICATORS and see you at the Michigan State Championships in April!
