[Setting up for tournament]

On Monday, we will NOT have a regular team meeting after school. We will, however, have our annual Open House for family and friends!

Who?

All of you! This is required for all Speech members (unless you have spoken to me already). Family members and friends are encouraged to attend!

When?

Monday, November 21.

Speech team members should arrive in the auditorium at 5:00p for pictures. Dress in Speech attire! Look good!

If you are in the following categories, you should bring drinks (juice, soda): EXT, DEC, INFO, OO, SOS

In the spirit of the holiday season beginning, there are no practices this week; however, there is the Open House on Monday, Nov. 21.

After Thanksgiving, we have “The Big” NV tournament on Dec. 3. For the Sophs on the team who have never experienced the hectic nature of “The Big Meet” at the main building and the crazy setup involved, the week of Nov. 28-Dec. 2 gets goofy (and, oh, there is this little music concert called Crystal…you may have heard of it?!) Practices may be combined and more limited to due to fractured time commitments for everyone. Just take care of your health!

Enjoy turkey day (yeah, I just said that)

La Scola
