HUTCHINSON, Kan. — The USD 308 school board approved the travel of the Allen Magnet school Blue KidWind team to nationals in May as part of their Monday meeting, but they made it contingent on outside fundraising for the cost of team expenses during the event.
You can donate to help on their GoFundMe page or they can receive Venmo donations @ALLENSTEMPTO with the note "KidWind".
Hutch STEM Blue team is made up of 4 fourth-graders and 1 fifth-grader.
This year is the first time the team has participated in the KidWind Challenge.
The team completed in the 4th-8th grade division and took 2nd at regionals, received the Judge's Favorite at state, and has been invited to participate in the 4th-5th grade division at nationals.
The national event is May 16 - May 19 in San Antonio, TX.
