Debate This Week: Parli & Prep

This week for debate we will be doing practice rounds for Parli. With that in mind, here's a few action items:

Students--email your partners and make sure they'll be there. It makes it easier to figure out rounds if I don't have to figure out pairings too. Also, do come. With the parli tournament this weekend, this is a much needed opportunity to practice.

Parents--please come! There will be a few coaches there, but not enough to judge all the rounds. I would like to get maybe 2-3 parents per room, so please do your best to come. [That said, I understand schedules - so no worries if you cannot make it].

We'll be holding warrooms [hopefully],  so this will be a great chance to enjoy a night of debate.

See you all Thursday,

CM
