Chiawana Tournament December 2

First, though, THANK YOU to the team, for doing the heavy lifting of setting up and cleaning up. Even though they were all exhausted, they made sure we left things in good order. Thank you to all the parents, staff, and friends who volunteered to judge a few rounds. Your efforts were essential to our ability to compete.  Thank you to the teachers whose rooms we used, and to our amazing custodial staff. If you have any issues with your classroom, please let me know so we can improve our process when we host the National Qualifying tournament in February. Thank you to Phil Koestner, who spent most of the day with us and judged debates. Thank you to all of the teams who came, and particularly to the ones who came from Spokane! Having new competition makes us all better.

Team: Individual Events Champion.
