Why our team decorated a Christmas tree

Our robotics team decorated a storybook tree for Christmas in a special historic house in a little town called odessa. many familys and schools take tours in lots of the little old houses there when they are all decorated for Christmas. Families and schools come in in November and decorate trees based on different storybooks. Since we are researching nutrition as part of our team challenge, we chose Berenstein Bears and Too Much Junk Food. We put pictures of the bears, soda cans, and a water bottle, plastic junk food and fruit and vegetables all over the tree. And we put small running shoes (for exercise) and a small pillow (for good sleep) on too. We put a sign by the tree that said information about our team challenge. We hope that some people see our tree, go on our Website, take our challenge and use it to influence other people. Maybe we can really make a difference in someones life! --Rachel
