Ambition House Team Building

Below are the rules and schedule for the 1st Annual Cardboard Regatta.  As a house, we will try to supply as much cardboard as we can, but we may not have enough.  If you have some laying around, please consider sending it to school, we can store it.  We have a limited amount of duck tape and we anticipate it will go quickly, so if you have an extra roll or two for your child's group, please consider sending it.
