Science Olympiad 4th year

        This year is our fourth year competing at Science Olympiad.   I am in charge of coordinating and coaching as the head coach for the team. It has been difficult due to the fact that I do not have any of the students in my classes.   This year it was especially difficult with a smallest number of participants turn out ever.  Only eight on the team.            
     Everyone competed in at least two events.  We took 3rd out of four teams and decided not to compete at the State level knowing that most of the team members will have another chance next year.  I will be traveling to Arizona this summer to be trained at Science Olympiad Summer Coach Camp and will be teaching AP Biology next school year which means more of the participants will be in my class. 

   
     Another exciting news regarding Science Olympiad is that I was able to network with Mrs. Nassar, who will be coaching an elementary level science Olympiad team from Wailuku Elementary School.  I was able to supply her with some science supplies needed.  I plan to work with the elementary team to raise awareness of the competition.
