Neuqua Valley Speech Team

Because school was canceled on Monday, here’s the plan:

— There will be a *brief* team meeting after school on Tuesday. We need everyone there!

— If you had a practice scheduled for Monday, it will be rescheduled for Friday. Talk to your coaches.

Keep visiting this site for more updates!

Because of school being canceled, we’ll have to adjust a few things. Keep visiting this website and we’ll post more information as soon as we can.
