Happy Fall Everyone! :) Here's a quick update about the team. 
We are having a Team Lunch and Work Session tomorrow in the classroom from 12 to 4 pm. With the way the last two weeks have been, not all of our varsity have had the chance to practice debate their cases and some still have a bit of finishing up to do! Seeing as there is no school tomorrow and we will not be at the game, we have the time to put in a bit of extra work! I hope to see many faces there tomorrow!

The Wood River Round Robin Tournament we went to last Saturday went incredibly well! We placed as the runner ups for the whole tournament and took home a lovely plant (we named him Dan Jr.). All three Public Forum Teams earned ribbons and two of our Lincoln Douglas members snagged ribbons as well! It was a great tournament and a helpful experience for our newest members. 

Finally, this Saturday is City of Trees, the varsity opening tournament for the season. Almost the whole varsity squad is going and I expect great things from them! The Tigers are eager for another victory. The schedule of the tournament is as follows: 
BUS LEAVES AT 6 AM.

Welcome to the start of the 2021-2022 school year! We are incredibly excited to work with you and your student(s) for the upcoming season and would like to take some time to get to know you! While this will be a rather informal gathering, we will be going over the current (still changing) tournament schedule for the year, as well as addressing any questions or concerns about travel, funding/fundraisers, grades, after school time (Team Times), or anything else you may be curious about. 
If you aren’t able to make it to the meeting, that’s totally okay! You can reach the Head Coach, Amy Alfredson, at alfredson_ar@mtnhomesd.org or via phone at (208) 917-0873, and the Assistant Coach, Karen Gump, at gump_kj@mtnhomesd.org or at (208) 284-5447. 
We hope to see you there! :)
