Appleton North Forensics News

Hello Team,

Thank you to everyone who came to the meeting on Thursday. It was great to see you. If you didn’t make it to the meeting, that’s ok. You can pick up a packet of information in the student services office.

For the month of December, I will be at North every Tuesday and Thursday to meet with anyone who would like get started. Look for me in room 2345 at 3:30pm. I wish I could get there sooner, but I am teaching at East this year. I will get to North as soon as I can. If you would like to meet on a Monday, Wednesday, or Friday please email me and I will try to meet you when I can. (coach@appnorthforensics.com)

Remember: everyone should (1) choose a category, (2) pick a speech topic or find an interp piece, (3) begin writing your speech or practicing your interp piece. Stop in to see me for help with each one of these steps.

Thanks folks
See you soon
Paul

PS–I know many of you don’t use email very much, but I need you to check it regularly during the forensics season. Thanks.
