Dear Decathlon Volunteer:
Your service at the State Finals resulted in another successful event. You are an invaluable and much appreciated volunteer! I sincerely hope that you enjoyed yourself and will contribute your time and talent again in 2017.
While your volunteer experience is still fresh in your mind, please take our online survey. This link brings you directly to the survey to be completed: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/M55TSKC
Each season WIAD relies on the assistance of 400+ volunteers at the three competitions; annually, the State Finals utilizes over 100! Every role plays an important part in preserving Wisconsin’s reputation as one of the top programs in the country.
Wilmot Union High School captured the title of 2016 State Champion for their third consecutive year. The team will travel to Anchorage, AK for the 35th annual USAD National Finals on April 26-28. While our State Champion is competing in AK, three additional WI teams, representing Large, Medium and Small schools, will test online. The National division enrollment cutoffs, for Online Competition, differ from WI’s. Sun Prairie, Waukesha West and Melrose-Mindoro High School are the entrants. All participants, State Champs and Online teams, have the opportunity to earn the same awards, including college scholarships.
WIAD is a non-profit program dependent upon private funding and team entrance fees. Fundraising presents a daunting challenge each season. We are currently tapping into our reserves to make ends meet. With your firsthand experience as an Academic Decathlon volunteer, please share your excitement and belief in the program’s benefits with the business community; a donation form is available on our website. I encourage and welcome your suggestions and donor leads.
Please contact me if you would like to assist in any other way throughout the year. You will find more results from this year’s Competition, along with news and schedules for the upcoming 2016-17 season at www.wiad.org. The 2017 State Competition is scheduled for March 2-3 in Wisconsin Dells. The USAD National Competition will be held at the Monona Terrace, in Madison, on April 20-22, 2017. I look forward to your involvement in both!
With great regard,
Molly
