COACHES AND COORDINATORS:
 Assist students without doing the work for them.
 Communicate to their church coordinator the number of teams, and grade level of those groups. Report team
members to the church coordinator.
 Verify that students are only on one bulletin board team; they may move up an age group but not down.
 Determine that each bulletin board team has a maximum of 6 participants.
 Print a team sheet from the registration website and Email to the event coordinator with the photos of the bulletin
board. Team sheets and photos must be included in the same Email. The Congregation name and number must
be included on the email subject line. More than one team’s photos can be on one Email, but each team should
be clearly identified with each set of photos. Email the photos and Team Sheet(s) to the event coordinator
before the Pre-Convention One Event deadline.
