Rocky the Squirrel: Team Mascot
I am the "cool" squirrel and official mascot of the CocoNuts. I have been a member of the science department for longer than most of the team has been alive. In my spare time I enjoy flying from tree to tree, searching for my nuts, "chilling" in the back room, enjoying a tasty salad with my pal Lucky, and being a favorite "come and see this" attraction in the CHS Science Department.
Lucky the Iguana: Team Iguana
I am the cute and cuddly iguana that once lived in Miss Sapio's classroom. I got involved in robotics because... well... the " CocoNuts" pretty much invaded my space. In my spare time I enjoy lettuce, trots around the science department, scaring the classes near by, terrorizing the freshmen, sitting on MY comfy computer chair (and sometimes sharing with Miss Sapio), and giving my two cents during biology class. I am best friends with Rocky the Squirrel.Any comments, suggestions, or concerns about the website?
