Monona Grove DECA Going to State

The Monona Grove DECA Club placed high in a number of "series" at the district competition at the Oregon High School yesterday and is headed to the state competition at Lake Geneva in March 2010. Congratulations!

Monona Grove Schools - Deca HS Marketing Club

The district competition involved two written tests (marketing specific and marketing math/economics) and two role-playing business situations with a businessperson. 

 

They brought home the hardware.

They also get to wear nice hats.

 

 

 

 

 

 

And they toured Miller Park.

And they worked hard. (You'll have to take my word on that; I don't have a picture.)
