Events Assignment Revisited and First Meeting

FIRST MEETING WILL BE TOMORROW, Monday, October 20, in the Library. If we finish early, you are welcome to go to other clubs. Unless you are being picked up by a parent, you will take the late bus home. Bring the following to the meeting: a completed afterschool form (if you have not already submitted this earlier for other clubs) and a check for $45 payable to "Langston Hughes M.S." with Science Olympiad in the memo line. You will receive your problem packets at the meeting, you will discuss the problems, meeting times, etc., with your event partner, and be prepared to discuss rules and consequences which will be posted on the blog. Also, come prepared with T-Shirt size so we can order them (see below for the design and links to sizes at Custom Shirt).

The State Director sent competition times for each of the events. Because some team members were assigned to events that were competing at the same time, Shashi and I had to revisit the event assignments. We tried to keep as closely to the previous ones as possible and looked over what each team member stated he/she would like. Again, because of so many variables involved, nobody was assigned to all their first, second and third choices. Also, because of the changes, we may have to change the mentor assignments for each family. Here are the event assignments grouped by competition time block:
