 Leadership Team

    Meetings                        Sponsors                    Technology Standards

TECH team participants were chosen by the sponsors based on the student's attitude, behavior, and interest in technology.  
There are ten students that are currently involved in the Payne TECH Team.  Six of them are fifth graders, the others are from fourth grade.
Students had to sign a code of conduct as well as have their parent/guardian sign a permission slip.
