Your Warrior Speech Team competed at Districts this Saturday in Schuyler.  While the judging was questionable at times and left 2 deserving groups out of State contention, the OID group of Natalie Griesse, Jenna Karlin, Taylor Katt, and Lyz Kuhn were awarded with a trip to State.  Not only did this group place, it bested powerhouse Waverly and took Champion OID!  The OID group of Matthew Eames, Tori Miller and Tyler Nicholas made it to finals and took 4th overall. The Duet Act of Tanner Bohlender and Andrew Malan also placed in finals, missing a shot at State by 2 points. They took 4th.  And, placing for the first time in finals - Jordan Lewis who took 5th.  Several members received their first superior ratings in this meet: Katie Rathje and CW Stoneman. These two, plus Lyz Kuhn and Elisa Hutchinson and the duet act of Victoria Kenow and Hannah Bell, took 4th in their rounds just missing finals placement. Ben Kunz, Sara Mach and Spencer Farley had strong performances, too.

It's getting closer to our second Middle School Fun Night, and we would like to thank everyone who helps make these nights successful and also to say thank you to everyone who has expressed their appreciation for the fun nights. This year, our second Fun Night is march 5th:

1. Fun night will start at 6:30pm and end at 10:00pm. Parents can, of course, pick their children up early as needed. You might see references to 6:00 - 10:30 occationally; these are the times are for the people running Fun Night, not the middle school students.
2. We will be serving pizza. We know how busy a Friday night can be; if you're pressed for time, you don't have to cook before you drop off your middle school student. Students will receive enough tickets so that they can "purchase" 2-3 pieces of pizza without buying any additional tickets. Additional tickets are $0.25 each, and a slice of pizza will cost 3 tickets.
3. The admission charge will once again be $10.00 per student if you signup in advance and $20.00 if you pay at the door.
4. We'll be making some effort to ensure that the two "biggest" attractions of fun night (the dance and the dodgeball tournament) are not mutually exclusive. The dodgeball tournament will begin at 6:30 and run until approximately 9:00. The dance will start at approximately 7:00 and run until 10:00. Overheard at a 2007 fun night, "There's no one to dance with! All our men are playing dodgeball."

MIDDLE SCHOOL TRACK…..Any middle school student interested in participating in track and field this year needs to pick up all information and paperwork from Miss Wisroth and return it to her by March 1st. Additionally, those athletes that were at the Parents Meeting can turn all signed paperwork into Miss Wisroth as well.  If you have any questions please contact Coach Stroh via email: strohk@hotmail.com.
