Practice next week!

Because there is no school Monday and Tuesday of next week, we will be having practice on Wednesday from 6-8 as well as the normally scheduled Thursday practice. If you can't make it to either of these, please make sure to let us know by E-mailing our gmail account!

Communication Improvements!

In order to improve communication between students, parents and coaches, we have added several new applications to our social media repertoire.

First, we have created a Facebook group that students and parents can join. Unlike our Facebook page, the group will send members a notification to their phone any time something new is posted. Here is a link to the Facebook Group.

Second, we have created an account with Remind101. For folks not on Facebook, this will serve the same purpose as the Facebook group. All you have to do is follow the instructions in the image below and you will start getting updates any time we post a message.

This blog will still be the main method of disseminating information, but we felt we needed a secondary vehicle that included reminders to ensure that communication was more fluid. Most messages we send out will simply be reminders to check the blog for information regarding practices, tournaments, and social events.

Neither of these new tools is mandatory, but we hope you find them helpful!

As always, the best method for contacting us is through our E-mail at Speech.Edina@gmail.com. Please let us know if you have questions or concerns.

Best,
M and E

Lakeville South

We will be going to the Lakeville South Tournament on February 14th!  This will be a great tournament for us to do well at.  It is a small tournament and we should do well at it!  This is updated to the tournament schedule!

Apple Valley

LOCATIONS: All NOVICE events will be held at Falcon Ridge Middle School with the exception of novice extemporaneous speaking, which will be held at Apple Valley High School. All VARSITY events will be held at Apple Valley High School with the exception of varsity discussion, which will be held at Falcon Ridge Middle School. This allows the tournament to accommodate only double entries in events held at the same site. Since extemporaneous speakers often share files, both divisions are in one building. Discussion will be at Falcon because it is not eligible for double entering.

Practice Schedule, week of 2/2

Click the link below to view this week's practice schedule.

Some notes:

1. There are two sheets; one for Interp today, and one for PA on Thursday. 

2. Just because you are expected to attend the ENTIRE practice regardless of when you are scheduled to work with coaches. 

3. Remember that PA works with captains on Mondays and Interp works with captains on Thursdays, so you are expected to be at both days of practice.
4. This schedule doesn't include Extemp.
