Neuqua Valley Speech Team

THERE WILL STILL BE A TEAM MEETING AFTER SCHOOL ON MONDAY. Please attend for fascination information and crucial tournament specifics.

The Neuqua tournament is this coming Saturday. Please pay attention to what food you are required to bring!!! For once everyone else besides you will be baffled by the seemingly erratic numbering system.
