Westford Academy’s DECA Business Club
Westford Academy’s DECA Business Club is holding its annual “Student/Parent Information Nights” on Tuesday, September 24, and it will be repeated on Wednesday, September 25 in WA’s PAC. Both meetings begin at 7:00 PM. We are holding the same meeting (with identical content) on consecutive nights to better accommodate everyone’s busy schedule. The meeting should run about 30-40 minutes. It is mandatory for all interested members, and parents are strongly urged to attend. DECA Advisors will be available to answer all parent and student questions. For the parents’ convenience, DECA Officers will be collecting any cash or checks for WA’s Activity Fee ($100 - check made out to “WPS Clubs”) and the DECA Fee ($100, which includes membership and the first field trip held in January - check made out to “WA DECA”).
