St. Nicholas shines in first ‘Rube’ appearance

Osgood, In. — In their first appearance ever, St. Nicholas School earned the Judge’s Award at the Regional Rube Goldberg Machine competition at Jac-Cen-Del High School.

The Judge’s Award recognizes creativity, teamwork, and most importantly, Rube Goldberg’s never-give-up attitude.  St. Nicholas was in Division 1 with seven other local elementary/middle schools.  “Some of the machines were pretty amazing.  I am sure our team learned a lot and already has ideas on how we can improve our machine next year.  Winning the Judge’s Award is an amazing honor, especially for a first-year team!” Said Mrs. Kirschner, principal and team moderator.
