Mid-Atlantic Student Convention
“Perfect practice makes perfect” echos in the ears of 22 students preparing for the annual Mid-Atlantic Student Convention to be held at Tuscarora Camp and Conference Center April 20-24, 2009. Generally referred to as “Regionals,“ the week-long competition requires practice and diligence throughout the year. Faculty members join forces to prepare students for their individual and group events. Mrs. Kathy Martin heads the effort beginning in January with event selection.
After the students choose events, they begin the process of preparation. The students will compete in more than 50 events in the week-long competition. Each day begins with morning devotions with a guest speaker. Immediately following devotions, the students will disperse to competition rooms around the campsite. The competition continues throughout the day until the evening rally concludes the days’ activities. The week ends with an awards ceremony. First through sixth place medals are awarded in each area of competition. Additionally, contestants earning a top six placement may enter the International Student Convention at Central Missouri University in Warrensburg, MO.
