"Mr. Jones’ after-school robotics club exposes students from all high schools in the county to robotics. His club participates in all available robotics competitions, as well as taking students to compete in the Operation Christmas Crumble event, where his team was named first runner-up. Mr. Jones served as a mentor for those students and was a wonderful asset for the students during the competition."
