Some of you have had your kids compete in this competition at the regional, district and state levels. The top schools from each state will now be competing in the Nationals.

<div style="font-family: arial, helvetica; font-size: 10pt;">Esther and I have been volunteering to be proctors or judges in the in-state competitions for several years, and now that the National competition is being held in Madison, the State Acedemic Decathlon organization is responsible for lining up speech judges and timers and interview judges. If you are interested in, and willing to, serve in any of these capacities, please contact Mollie Richie ASAP at <span style="font-family: arial, helvetica; font-size: 13.3333px;">mritchie@wiad.org.</span></div>
