And another year of CEHS Speech begins.....

We hope you had a relaxing break and that you were able to enjoy the holidays with your family and friends! Matt and I are looking forward to seeing you all after being off for almost a month....please please please be reviewing your pieces and practicing on your own!

Our plan is to be back at it next week when you get back to school. We are planning on a Tuesday morning meeting, but with the impending weather, it appears you are likely to have a delay -- which means no meeting! We will practice both Wednesday and Friday next week -- everyone can come to both practices to get as much work time in before we head to Ben Davis on Saturday, January 11th.

Speaking of Ben Davis, we need to know who is going and what events you are competing. We know that this meet is the date that the winter formal has been rescheduled for. Remember your parents are welcome to come pick you up when you are done competing, so you can be home in time for festivities. We need to stay for the whole day as both Matt and I have been asked to work in the Tab Room.

It is really important that:

• If you are a freshman or sophomore, you text ANNA, your name and events you will be competing in by Monday at 4pm.
• If you are a junior or a senior, you text MATT, your name and events you will be competing in by Monday at 4pm. 

As of right now, we have three judges scheduled (Lora Bodi, Mr. Hartley, and Courtney Seiwert) -- we could use two or three more. If you can provide a judge, please provide his or her name in your text to Matt or Anna.

We are ready to kick the rest of the season into high gear!
