Help Moniteau Academic Decathlon

My daughter Marissa is on this team and she is extremely upset over this as am I.

Please keep the educational programs in place

Taking away something from these kids is so wrong they are our future

This program shaped my brother into the amazing individual he is today!

Keep it academics is more important than any club.

I think the school district should get rid of one of the multiple principals instead of other things at the school to save funds

Keep decathlon

The amount of scholarships that Moniteau students have received through the Academic Decathlon program is significant and it has made college achievable for many who may not have otherwise had that opportunity. This is not a club. It is a challenging course that prepares students for college and the professional world, requiring significant individual and group effort. Please take this program seriously and give it the resources it deserves.

Brinn is awesome

I'm fairly certain my participation/performance in AcaDec got me into college.

This class has provided Taylor with the support and confidence to grow into a successful young adult. Through Decathlon, she has learned invaluable life lessons that will guide her to become a compassionate and capable person. Please consider the impact of this program and keep it available for all students as an elective class. This is their sport, and they need it just as much as any athlete needs their competitive games.

As a former decathelete from Slippery Rock and a daughter in the district, it is a lot of learning and should definitely stay as an elective to be able to better prepare to shine light on the district.

As a competitor of Moniteau High School in the Academic Decathlon arena I would like to encourage the school board to reconsider this decision. For a small school like Moniteau to compete at the highest levels of USAD is remarkable. It is also a testimony to Ms. Hershey and the spirit she has brought to her AcDec students. Keeping Academic Decathlon as a rostered course is essential to maintaining all she has built.

I am joining decathlon this year and don't want to sell it go

Please don’t take this away from the children.

This is extremely important.

Please keep Decathlon as a class. These kids need this time to study.

i participated in acadec as a club, so i cant fully relate to this issue, however, acadec is incredibly important to kids and coaches. moving away from classes makes it easier to cut funding and push kids away due to time commitments. acadec is so special to so many people, keep it alive

All kids matter

My son loves the enrichment program provided by ms Hershey and I’d hate to see it go away!!!
