From The Desk of Linda Wilke - 12/07/11:
Looking forward to seeing all of you next Thursday, December 15th.
We will be starting at 8:30 with teams from Marinette and Menominee.
Please see attached schedule for the morning. Please have your
team ready to go on stage according to the schedule so we can keep the
morning moving along. Everyone should be at Marinette and in the
Theatre by 9:30 for my talk and Mr. Maxwell, President of Farmers &
Merchants Bank & Trust as well as a Kimberly-Clark representative.
This is a great day for your students to get a feel for what types of
questions are asked during a match. By paying attention during
the Dry Run students can get a better understanding of the type of
studying they should be doing to prepare for matches.
Congrats to Wausaukee for their National Championship!
We will be having another National Championship this year.
Dry run set for Dec 15th
