Kamiak and Snohomish Tournament

If you are planning on attending the Oct 19th Kamiak Tournament, please email me by Friday, October 11th. This is crucial so I can line up enough transportation and judges. The invite went out via email.

 

If you would like to go to Snohomish HS tournament (again, I emailed the invite) please email me by Friday, October 25th at the latest. Parents, please contact me if you can drive and judge. We are hosting a judge training on Oct 24th at 6:30pm at Sehome HS, room 109 (where we regularly practice on Tuesday/Thursdays). The more parents that participate the more money we save in judge fees!

 

Also, before students are eligible to compete/judge at the October 19th Kamiak tournament, you must complete the following:

 

- Activities/Athletic form signed and returned to your school's activities/athletic office

- $35 debate fees paid for October
