A New Year! Woo-hoo!

Hi, Speech Creatures!

I realize it's still summer, but I wanted you to have some info about the upcoming season.  I have the  debate topic for this year, which is:

Resolved: The United States federal government should substantially increase its exploration and/or development of space beyond the Earth's mesosphere. 


And I have the schedule for this year.  Please note that the first event is on Monday, September 21 (less than four weeks away!), and it is a Discussion (debate) tournament.


September 21   Discussion           Harford Tech
October 12     Speech and Debate    Edgewood
October 26     Speech and Debate    North Harford
November 9     Speech and Debate    Patterson Mill
November 30    Speech and Debate    Joppatowne
January 11     Discussion           Fallston
January 25     Speech and Debate    John Carroll
February 8     Speech and Debate    Bel Air
February 22    Speech and Debate    CMW

March 7        Snow Make-Up Day  
March 21       FINALS               Havre de Grace



Since our tournaments are on Wednesdays (except the first one), I figure we should meet on Wednesdays too, to practice and get pumped up and plan our strategy and sing Mulan songs.  We also need to recruit new members, not just from the freshies, but from the rest of the student body.


I am so proud of how well you did last year!  I also had a blast working with you.  Here's hoping we can continue to succeed and have fun doing it!  Feel free to get in touch with me with any questions or problems or suggestions, at rschick@johncarroll.org or through Martha's Facebook.
