This week I would like to see each of you twice this week. Since Mrs. Kendall is on vacation and Jeni’s schedule is limited, it will be me which means that practices are going to run long, or I will have to work with each of you for less amount of time, hence why I would like to see you twice. I am posting a parent letter (on the right hand side of this page) that I would like each of you to show and/or print for, your parents/gaurdians. It explains whats going on with the competition itself. It ALSO explains what you need to do/have for the competition.
Broadcasters, hopefully on Monday Mrs. A-Y will sit down with me and run numbers so that I can tell you who is going.
If you still have a chair or stool that you have used in competition, please return those to Mrs A-Y’s room so that those that need them have them, especially for practice.
It is outlined in the Parent Letter, but please see to getting your scripts in order for competition. If, AFTER you have read the letter, you are still having trouble, please come see me.
I will have a few hard copies of the letter on me during practice.
As always, feel free to email,
Laura C chamb202@msu.edu

Great job to everyone who was at the Chemic Classic Invitational this past Saturday. Congrats to Kelly, Chris, and Mike who all broke to semi-finals.
Remember, NO PRACTICE THIS WEDNESDAY due to testing. Also, I would like you to start coming in two days a week for practice since Districts are coming up on March 28th. It can’t hurt to browse around the MIFA page (the link is on the right side of this page). Look for the tab on the left side of the MIFA page that says IE Districts.
Hugs to all.

The date is still the Mar 28th. The first round is at 3:3o pm. Do not ask me if you will be missing any or all of 6th hour. I have no clue. We will be taking a bus to and from the site. Also if any of your parents would like to come out that would be wonderful!
Contact me if you have any comments or concerns,
Laura
PS GREAT JOB to everyone this past Sat. Some of you were competing for the first time and I think that you did wonderful.
Remember our next (and last tournament) is this coming Sat at Midland High School. Bus leaves early 5:30.

Weds March 28th…I have no offical start time yet, although she says we should be done at 8:30pm which leads me to believe it will be an afterschool event

Howdy again,
The sign-up for the next (and FINAL) tournament of the season is posted outside Mrs AY’s room. I would like you all to sign up by Monday of next week. That tournament is at Midland and is always a good one.
Don’t forget that we have a tournament this Sat at Grand Rapids Christian High School. The bus will leave at 6:15 no exceptions. If you are planning to just come along to observe it is always best to give me a heads up on that as well.
I do know what group we are in for District competition, but I do not know what date yet. This is usually on like a Weds after school. But make sure you are keeping that week that I gave you at the beginning open. Districts will be held at the Scotts-Climax High School, just outside the Battle Creek/Kalamazoo area. This is an opportunity for us to really shine!
I’m sure that I have mentioned this in passing but I would really like to pursue selling cotton candy at the St Pats parade in downtown Grand Ledge. I will try to get more information out to you soon.
Also, and importanly, we will Not be going to the Mackinac Island tournament this year. There are many reasons why this is so. One is the small amount of people who are interested, another is the fact that we just haven’t done the kind of fundraising that we need to, also Mr.Delp (a long time organizer and chaperone of the trip would be unable to go this year, as well as the fact that all of you are required to get a new piece or change events entirely, while some of you are just finally polishing your first pieces. But knowing whats coming down the pipe at us, I see no reason why we can’t go next year. It is a fun, exciting and worthwhile trip.
Next week is my Spring Break at MSU. I think Mrs Kendall and I will be alternating days the WHOLE week so that you have the opportunity to come in on Tues and Thurs (hint: you can practice many times). This is an opportunity you shoud not miss since it will fine tune those of you who are going to the Chemic Invitational on the 10th and really get you in gear for Districts which will be following right on its heels. I will have a form for who will be in what days up soon.
Also, reminder, please wear your Forensics shirts this Friday as we do have a meet on Saturday and we are just as cool as (ok, I’ll admit cooler than) the sports teams 
As always, contact me if you have any questions, concerns, or you need to talk.
Hugs
Laura
