Morning meeting CANCELLED tomorrow

The morning meeting for tomorrow is cancelled... as you are all on a two-hour delay and Anna and I are busy with Finals Week here at IUPUC.

So, THERE WILL BE PRACTICE on Wednesday afternoon, especially for those who are working on new pieces or events... and for anyone else willing to work.

Friday practice is cancelled.

There will be no practice next week, unless you want to work with each other after school or in other venues.  

If we don't see you Wednesday afternoon, have a blessed and wonderful holiday with your family and a relaxing vacation as well.  

If you have any questions, contact Anna or Matt via whatever channel makes sense to you.

IUPUC/Ivy Tech Speech Meet CANCELLED

Hello all,

Matt and I had to make the very difficult decision to cancel the speech meet this weekend. Several school districts in the state are denying travel requests and bus travel this weekend. After practice today, we had already lost 1/3 of our entries. In order to keep the meet competitive and a good size meet, we have decided that it is in our best interest to postpone the meet. Tentatively, we would like to reschedule for January 25th -- but we need to get final approval from IUPUC, Ivy Tech, and IHSFA first.

So what does this mean, we will not be setting the meet up on Friday afternoon at IUPUC and will not be practicing because we will not be competing again until January. We will, however, practice next week.

We are planning to still have the Christmas Party at the Miller's house, provided BCSC does not cancel school on Friday. If there is a delay, we will still have the party -- but if school is cancelled, there will not be a party. This is an effort to keep everyone safe!

Thank you for being the flexible team that you are! Please text your teammates who may not  check the blog regularly, so that they know this information.

If you have any questions, please let Anna or Matt know.

Important and busy week in CEHS Speech world!

Hope you had a nice Thanksgiving and were able to enjoy your break! An exciting end to break with an East win at State!

This week is going to be a very busy one for our speech team. Tuesday morning's meeting is very important - this will be the only time we will be getting registration information for this weekend's meet at IUPUC. We will be offering improv duo, so think about whether or not you are interested in tripling in that.

We will only be having practice on Wednesday this week.

On Friday, we will meet at IUPUC at Anna's office (CC151) after school to set up for the tournament. You should plan to bring your food with you on Friday. If you forget what you are assigned to bring, please track Chris down this week - he has the list.

On Friday evening around 5:30, we will be convening at Katie Miller's house for the Speech Team Monthly dinner and Holiday party. If you are a freshman or sophomore, please plan to bring a side (chips/veggies) and if you are a junior or senior, please plan to bring dessert. The Miller family has graciously offered to donate the dinner, so no need to bring any cash. We will also be having a team WHITE ELEPHANT gift exchange, if you would like to participate, plan to bring a $10 gift for your biological sex -- meaning if you are a girl, please bring a $10 gift for a girl and if you are a boy bring a $10 gift for a boy. We will take this time to hang out, enjoy each other's company and celebrate a very successful first half of the season!

If you have any questions or will not be at Tuesday's meeting, please text Anna and/or Matt as soon as possible.
