Students at Wolff Elementary School got an up-close look at the robot used by the Henderson SWAT team on Thursday.

Henderson Police showed off the robot to teacher Trisha Christensen's fifth-grade class. The class has spent the whole year studying robots. Thursday's demonstration gave them a chance to see how a robot is used in everyday situations. 

"It is really exciting for the kids and the parents who helped set this up. It really culminates the activity and helps them see what we are doing can be applied in the real world," said teacher Trisha Christensen. 

"The technology I learned is much more than we can think of it to be, it is much more than power in our computer, it lets you play our favorite video game. It can save a life or take a life," added fifth-grader Carlos Gonzalez. 

The department bought the robot in December 2010 through a grant from the Justice Department. 

Goodwill of Southern Nevada will officially re-open its remodeled Green Valley location at 1421 W. Warm Springs on Friday.

The store was remodeled and a Donation Center was added at their Green Valley location. The addition of a Donation Center not only allows Goodwill the ability to offer store customers the ease of shopping and donating at the same location, but also provides a more central donation location for Henderson residents.

The remodeled store is the first recipient of Goodwill’s newly upgraded point-of-sale cash register system, a system that will eventually be implemented in all eight Goodwill of Southern Nevada retail stores.  Additional upgrades to the store floor include: added store fixtures increasing the merchandise available for sale by more than 40 percent; new dressing rooms and restrooms; and a new look that communicates Goodwill’s mission.
