Debate Season Wrap-up Info + Tournament News

Hello All,

Don't forget! This Sunday, March 14th @ 6:30pm is our season wrap-up party. Please join us at the Whatcom Volunteer Center (725 N State St) to reflect on our season, say goodbye to seniors, wish our state participants good luck, and look forward to next year!

This is a potluck event, so please bring a dish to share for 10-15 people. If your last name begins with...

A-G: Bring a salad-type dish
H-P: Bring a dip/veggies/fruit/bread/etc. or entree item
Q-Z: Bring a dessert or drink

I look forward to seeing you all there!

We also had several tournament results come in over the weekend. On Friday we attended the National Qualifier Tournament at Snohomish HS. We had one team, Will McShane and Conner Helms from Sehome, qualify as an alternate to the National Tournament. Good job, team!

Mitsu Gunsolus and Gordon Friedman went to the Gonzaga Tournament also over the weekend. Mitsu's dad, Jim Gunsolus, went as their transport and judge. The team went 4-2, and were octo-finalists. It was no small feat considering the caliber of competition at this tournament.

Rose Osborne from Sehome HS is going to the State Tournament on March 19th and 20th! She was an alternate coming out of Friday's competition, but before we were even home she had been called up to join. We have a total of 6 students coming to State now: Nate Cancilla, Rose Osborne, Conner Helms, Will McShane, Mitsu Gunsolus, and Gordon Friedman.

We will have NO practice this week. It seems our students have left us for spring sports, but we'll be in touch for the following week.

Thank you everyone- see you this Sunday,

Aly Hoover
