Family Showcase

Our Forensics Family Show case will be held on Sunday, February 12, at 6:30 in Fr Kelty Hall. There are so many events happening this month it was difficult to find a date. Any student who wishes to do so may perform his or her piece for all the friends and family in attendance. Mrs Petersen and I will provide light refreshments. An invitation will be sent home today. Please respond by February 9. We hope this is a good date for most of the children and their families.

The season will end with  Finals at Bishop Canevin on the 25th . We will be permitted only 10 speakers at the tournament which includes one Multiple Reading Team. Selections for the Finals Team will be made  based upon student availability, seniority, preparedness, scores at previous tournaments, and category. Practice after the Family Showcase will only be for those students attending Finals.

We have had a great season placing in every tournament and allowing each team member to compete at a tournament. We hope we can conclude it with a fun Family Showcase. Thanks so much for your interest, support, and hard work!

Thank you

Mrs Huth & Mrs Petersen









Congratulations to our team for a fine 3rd place showing at Saturday's  tournament at St. Louise. Our team is very young and we should be proud that we have placed in every tournament this year!

Places for the speakers were as follows: Poetry:  Maggie Gallegos - 2 1st, Jack Pulford, Miranda Thompson – 1st, 2nd, John Henry Rago, - 2 2nd. Prose: Andrew McDevitt-2 1st, Finn Crossey, Sam Chickini– 2 2nd, Connor Gaitens,  -1st, 2nd    Drama- Erin Sheedy, Evie Hoff, Claudia Jester – 2 1st, Margaret Begg-  1st, 2nd.  Multiple Reading: Joey Feola, Elias Ward, Louis Worrall, Jordan Gallegos, Jack Shorthouse-  2 2nd,.   Multiple Reading: Nicole Snyder, Corinne McDevitt, Maddy Hoff - 2 1st. Maggie, Miranda, Andrew, Claudia, Erin, Nicole, Corinne, and Maddy each had a perfect score of 30 points in one round. Evie had the distinction of scoring a perfect score
 in each round. In addition  John Henry, Finn, Sam,  and Margaret each just needed 1 more point to go from a second to a first. Hard work pays off.

There will be no practice this week, February 1, because of all of the activities for Catholic Schools week.

There will be an open practice for all Forensics students next week, February 8,  from 2:300- 4:00 to prepare for the Family showcase which will be announced this week.

Finals/All Stars, will be held at Bishop Canevin on February 25th. We will only be permitted to take 10 students. The 3 8th grade girls are invited to attend. The other places will be decided by availability of students to participate that day, category, preparedness ( attending practice) and scores from previous tournaments. Please let me know if your child is NOT available on the 25th.

Thank you to all the parents who drove, sent snacks and attended the awards ceremony. A special thank you to Mrs Petersen, Mrs Rago, Nicole Barone, and Mrs Hoff who were such a big help on Saturday. My daughter gave birth to twin girls in the middle of the tournament and I had to leave. They took over. Thanks so much!!

Happy Catholic Schools Week!!
