The students have put in the work — now they need your help to get to Kansas City for the Destination Imagination Global Finals next month.
Six teams from Sevastopol, three from Algoma and one from Holy Rosary qualified for the international competition after placing in the top three at the 2026 Wisconsin Destination Imagination (WIDI) Affiliate Tournament held in Sun Prairie last weekend.
Destination Imagination allows students to complete challenges based on STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts and mathematics). The tradition is strong at both Sevastopol and Algoma, with several Global Finals appearances between them over the years, including two wins for Sevastopol’s Ultimate Miners and Da’ Magix squads in 2023.
Sevastopol DI coordinator Annie Rabach has been a strong supporter of the program for 19 years. She points to strong community support and the use of classrooms at Sts. Peter and Paul Parish in Institute as key reasons for their success, along with the high standards set for students and volunteers alike.
Now that their spots are secured for Global Finals, the Destination Imagination teams at Sevastopol and Algoma must raise funds to get students, volunteers and equipment to Kansas City.
Sevastopol is holding its Road to Globals Showcase on Sunday, beginning at noon, with a brat, burger and hot dog fry. State champion performances by The Cheesy Chips, MHGR, Penguins with Pizzazz, Lama/Bellmore, The DI-pers and The Ultimate Ending will begin at 1 p.m. at Sevastopol School.
To support its Global Finals–qualifying teams — Super Kids (third place), Fantastic Five (second place) and Four Horse Them (first place) — Algoma Destination Imagination will host donkey basketball on April 29 at 7 p.m. at Algoma High School.
Both schools also hold additional fundraisers throughout the year to support their programs.
Holy Rosary's The HRS Rockets and Holy Rollers also qualified for Global Finals with a third-place finish. They HRS Rockets will compete at Global Finals. They will host a spaghetti dinner and bake sale on a date to be determined.
