Sign Up to be a Science Olympiad Coach!

Enthusiastic coaches are needed to help prepare our kids for the 9th Annual Washtenaw Elementary Science Olympiad.  There are 18 different events that test different skills.  Coaches for the following events are needed:   A is for Anatomy (grades 2 & 3), Potions, and Straw Tower.  Event descriptions can be found at http://www.aaps.k12.mi.us/wesowizards.home/events_2010 .  Get a friend and coach an event together!
 
Coaches are responsible for holding practices (usually starting in February), staying with kids until they are all picked up, ranking the kids in your event so a team can be put together, putting together a display for science night (possibly interactive in some events), guiding our kids to and from your event on Tournament Day. 
 
If you are interested in coaching, please contact Vivian Lin and Erika Levin, this year's King Elementary Science Olympiad co-head coaches, at vhl@umich.edu and emlevin@umich.edu .
