Welcome back for the 2015-16 school year! We had an amazing summer with two camps--one in speech and another in debate! I'd like to take this opportunity to thank Mr. Phil Wilson for organizing a terrific Debate Camp! He is an amazing teacher! In five short days, he had our children up and debating! It was a fun-filled week packed with a lot of information, and a lot of fun! I was truly amazed at the enthusiasm of our students! They love to argue (I mean--debate)! :)
We will begin having after-school practices the first week of September. Debate practices will be on Thursdays from 3:30-4:30. Speech practices will be on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 3:30-4:30. Remember, if your child participated in one of the camps this summer, he/she automatically qualifies to be on the All Saints Speech Team! If your child is not enrolled first quarter in Speech Contest, he/she will need to participate at least one day a week in an after-school practice. Please contact me if you have questions at bstafford@allsaintsba.com.
The tournament schedule for this year hasn't been given to me yet. Once it is out, I will get that information out to you. Thank you for all of your support! We look forward to an exciting year of speech and debate!

Blessings for a wonderful school year!
