Reminders for 10/30

Reminder:
If you want to go to Dowling in December, you need to commit today and bring a $75 deposit to practice TODAY.

All debaters have their second case due tonight. THIS INCLUDES NOVICE, JV, VARSITY AND PUBLIC FORUM. In accordance with team policy, you need to have both a printed copy and an e-mail copy to a coach prior to practice starting.

If you were at Bronx, you need to have your Eagan cases ready for a coach tonight.

Schedule for Apple Valley 11/7-8

See post below for who is competing.

The tournament is November 7-8. You don't have school on Friday. Everyone
competes on both days.

Transportation
On Friday, we will take a bus (time later, but probably around 1) from Lakeville North to Apple Valley. (If getting a ride from home to North is the only reason you couldn't otherwise go, we will find a ride for you).

Friday, we will go to four different schools (Varsity is at Apple Valley HS, JV at Valley Middle School, Novice at Falcon Ridge MS and Public Forum at Scott Highlands MS). We will not take a bus back because it would take too long to go to all of the schools, so you will need to have parents pick you up (car pool).

Saturday morning, you will need to get a ride to the same building you were at on Friday. After prelims for all divisions of LD, there will be a bus to the high school. Outrounds for ALL divisions of LD will be at Apple Valley High School. Public Forum will have all rounds at Scott Highlands and have their own awards ceremony. All LDers should plan to stay through the awards ceremony at AVHS at 5:15. In the past, we have had either students competing or students wanting to observe late rounds after awards and many students who want to leave. Because of this, we have ended up with very few people on the bus and you will need to get a ride home.

Plan to carpool. If you drive yourself, you absolutely, under no circumstances are to leave until all your rounds are over (i.e. you may not leave to get food).

Schedule
Everyone starts at the high school for registration and announcements. The bus will take you all to the high school. If you are going to another school, there will be a shuttle bus to take you there.

Halloween Treats

Treat today at practice to anyone who EITHER:
A. emails Liz before 5:30 with an argument on the new topic that is not listed on the topic analysis. If you are in PF, send an argument on health care; if you are in LD, send an argument about felon disenfranchisement. It can be an argument for either side, but it must be a complete argument with a claim, warrant and impact.

OR

B. Prove you attended the North speech meeting by bringing the auditions packet to practice today.

If you go to South or are already on the North speech team, you must do option A.

Remember, unless you went to Bronx, 1 case is due TODAY.

Lakeville North Speech Info Meeting MONDAY

If you go to North and are interested in trying out for the speech team (which you should be as it's a great way to keep up with debate and get more NFL points and it's awesome and Liz is a coach), there is a meeting TOMORROW (MONDAY, OCTOBER 27) at 3 pm in Room 309.

Contact Coach Baese or Liz for more information.
