Hello Science Olympiad Coaches,

Is it that time of year already!?  Yes it is!  So much to do, so little time.  And, as always, it’s so great to see many familiar (and new) names on the group e-mail list!  

Karen Greene and I are looking forward to hosting the 2010 Wilmington Regional Science Olympiad here at UNCW on Saturday, March 13th. While there are always obstacles preparing for a successful Olympiad, we can't convey enough our appreciation for our coaches' efforts every year.  We know your students and you work so very hard to get ready for this special academic competition.

Karen and I have set a day and time for the "coaches meeting" (all competing schools are asked to have a representative).  The meeting will be held in the Watson School of Education and attended by Karen Greene, Dr. Jack Hall, and yours truly.

·         Olympiad Coaches Meeting:  UNCW’s Watson School of Education, Tuesday, February 23^rd at 4:30 PM in room 162.  I’ll e-mail a reminder next week.

·         Directions can be found here: http://www.uncw.edu/ba/directions_uncw.htm

Karen and I are also asking for your help.  We are working to get event leaders and helpers lined up for all events at the regional Olympiad.  There are 46 total B and C events!  It would be great if we could get one person from each participating school with expertise in science to volunteer to lead or assist with an event.  Do you know someone who has a career in science?  Ask them to participate!  We have found that coaches’ family and friends, some parents, and school teachers (who have always been at these competitions anyway) enjoy the chance to see the events "in action." 

If you have people interested in supporting the running of an event, please send them to the web site: (http://www.sciencenc.com/Volunteer_info/volunteer_registration.cfm) and have each complete the simple volunteer process.  We could always use the help!

Please remember: you can contact me with any questions/concerns about events, logistics, etc at kubaskod@uncw.edu.  I would prefer an email, but if there is something that requires a conversation, don’t hesitate to call me at work: (910) 962-3367.

Again, we appreciate all your hard work as we prepare for another season, and we look forward to seeing everyone at 4:30 PM on Tuesday, February 23^rd.

Thanks!

Dennis
