We need LOTS of volunteers to make Science Olympiad happen!!! As with previous years, volunteering is mandatory if your child represents King at the WESO tournament; and if you are a "key volunteer" then your child will be one of the 20 selected for his/her grade to represent King. The WESO schedule is roughly:
- November: coaches and other volunteers sign up
- December-early February: children register to attend practices for events
- Mid-February to mid-May: weekly practices at King
- April 23rd: Science Night at King School
- Mid-May: WESO tournament
At this time, we are particularly looking for COACHES (or co-coaches) who can commit to attending a coaches' meeting in January/early February and holding one practice per week from February to mid-May at King (except holidays). Tentative events are as follows (note, not all grades compete in all events; see the WESO link at the left of this e-mail for details.
