Hello Debaters and Families,
Happy Halloween! Hopefully the debaters who attended the Gig Harbor tournament this weekend are awake to enjoy the holiday. We didn't go home empty handed yesterday- out of 112 students in Novice Lincoln-Douglas debate, Duncan Ogg from Squalicum took 3rd place. He was 5th place speaker overall, and was undefeated (breaking a 5 way tie by speaker points). For two of our students it was their first tournament, Katelynn Marshall and Jaime Korner. We hope they had a good time. Will McShane from SHS was the 5th place speaker in Open CX. Great job everyone!
Thank you to some fabulous volunteers for helping us participate. Brock Blatter drove the Sehome van, and even took home students early yesterday. Jeff Bennett and Rose Osborne judged for us, which we really appreciate. Grant Resick hosted an extra practice for LD'ers, too.
If you are attending Whitman, please make sure you've paid your $35 November fee beforehand. Other students will need to do this as well. For Whitman, please make sure your student is at Sehome HS before 7AM. We depart at 7AM from Sehome. Please, please pack light. We will not have a whole lot of space. You will not need sleeping bags, just overnight stuff and nice clothes for the debate. Please bring plenty of flow paper, a timer, and food/money (please see blog for more info). Drivers will be Janice Keller, Dan McShane, and myself. I will have more information for drivers tomorrow.
Make sure you register yourself BEFORE tomorrow if you are judging/attending. Students, follow the link on the blog to become registered (meaning, you read the rules). Please bring your flows from the tournament to Tuesday's practices for rebuttal redos.
Thank you and hope you have a good Halloween!
