Neuqua Valley Speech Team

Hi everyone — Because of this week’s wacky after-school schedule, our next team meeting will be Thursday right after school!

See you then!

Second week of January, the start of a new semester, and nearing the end of the 2013-14 speech season. Everyone needs to stay focused and start thinking about each tournament, individually, and saying “What am I going to do this week to make each round the best round it can be?” That is what I would love to see heading into Wheaton/Warrenville and Waubonsie on Jan. 18.

I need to meet with…
Radio – Andrew (1)
Radio – Rebekah (before school on Friday, 1/17 in B206)
DI – Ellie (1)
