Ohio High School Championship

Ha!

Meetings

• after school Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday
• cavetime Wednesday and Thursday
• competition this Friday

Please see the ideas we have put together at Most Important Points for Each Witness. These may be helpful.

Plaintiff Witnesses: 

Parker Smith is male while Johnson and Sanchez are female.

Our second competition will be on Friday, February 27. Meet in the Administrative Conference Room -- go through the front office.  Students should be at the school, ready to board the bus by 8:00 am.  Again the trial begins at 9:00 am and is scheduled to go until noon. Again, if there is time, we may stop for lunch, so I encourage students to bring some money just in case.   We plan to be back at the school by 12:30.   The location of the trial is Sandy Justice Court at 210 West Sego Lily Drive, Sandy.   Parking was easy last year, available right at the court house.

Meeting, February 20

Breaking News:

First Competition

Breaking News:

Practice at 10 am tomorrow, Saturday the 14th with Ms. McNeil--

  Plan to be there.  Please call any team members for whom you have a phone number to encourage them to come!  

Reminders -- from the note you received in class today:Our competition is on Tuesday, and all team members must come. Witnesses who are not in the competition tomorrow will watch and take notes on those who are portraying the same part, questions asked, answers given, etc. Our alternates also need to be there: Tyler and Suzanne.
Notice the early time that you need to be ready to board the bus. 

Students should be at the school, ready to board the bus by 7:45 am.

Come earlier than that.  Come to the Counseling Computer Lab. The doors to the Counseling Office will be open at 7:30. 

Our trial begins at 9:00 am and is scheduled to go until noon. 

Do not forget to pay your bus fees.  If you didn't get them in, you may next week.
With many thanks from Ms. Dorsey

Bus Fare

This year we have found it necessary to charge the students a small amount for the buses.
The fee is $10 that will cover both competitions.  Our Administration is generously covering the rest of the cost.  All team members should pay the $10.   Thank you.

Scrimmage

Another school is offering to scrimmage with us -- Mountainville.
Maybe after school the week of February 8th or in the morning on Saturday, February 14th?

Special Meeting this Thursday, January 29

Our attorney coach, Mr. Ryan D. Petersen, will be coming to our cave time on Thursday.  Be on time and bring questions for him.
