School Website is Updated

My part of the school website is updated...with list of qualifiers and with pictures. Click on either Large Group Speech 2009-2010 or Individual Speech 2009-2010 (or both) :) at this address:

http://redoakia.beta.fesdev.org/vnews/display.v/SEC/High%20School%20%289-12%29|Language%20Arts%3E%3EMrs.%20Horn

Apparently the school is switching over to a new server or program or something, so the address is different, but as of tonight, I was still able to just type in www.redoakschooldistrict.com and it went to the home page correctly. High School tab on the left, Language Arts and then Mrs. Horn -- that's another way to get there :)

Don't forget, I need a head-count by May 1st for the banquet!!! Thanks!!!!!

End of the Year Banquet

We will have our first annual End of the Year Speech/Drama Banquet on Sunday, May 16th at 4:00 in the High School Cafeteria. The kids have an invitation they are to bring home to show parents. At the banquet I will be presenting Speech and Drama letters as well as certificates from the season.

We will be purchasing the main course and are asking for $2.00 per person attending the banquet to help pay for that. If you have a daughter in speech/drama, they are to bring a side dish to share. If you have a son in speech/drama, they are to bring a dessert to share. **If you have two children in speech/drama, please just choose one thing to bring (unless you want to do both!)** I will provide table settings and drinks. Please RSVP to hornl@roschools.com by MAY 1st so that I can get a head-count! Thanks!! All family members are invited too :)

To help me with something I am working on for the banquet, I am asking for any pictures you may have of Large Group and/or Individual speech kids. I have the group shots and I have Fall Play pictures, but I would appreciate any other pictures you may have. Please email those to me at rohsspeech@gmail.com (I've had issues with getting attachments through the school email) by April 23rd or if it's easier for you to burn the pictures to a disc that will work too.

Again,
* Pictures needed by April 23 (rohsspeech@gmail.com)
* RSVP needed by May 1 for count (hornl@roschools.com)
* $2.00 per person (if you have three family members coming that would be $6.00) ASAP -- if you need to write a check, please make the check out to Laura Horn since I will be getting the food
* Girls = side dish; Boys = dessert

Thanks so much!!!

Planning for Next Year

The IHSSA sent out the dates for next year. We don't know places yet, but I'll post that information as soon as it's available (might be next school year before we know). Please get these on your calendars so that you are aware of them now :)

Large Group Districts - January 22, 2011
Large Group State - February 5, 2011
Large Group All-State - February 19, 2011 at Iowa State, Ames
Individual Districts - February 26, 2011
Individual State - March 12, 2011 **DOES NOT INTERFERE WITH OUR SPRING BREAK**
Individual All-State - March 28, 2011 at UNI, Cedar Falls **END OF OUR SPRING BREAK**

I'm planning on a performance night again next year, but I'm not sure when that will be - I still need to discuss it and finalize it with Mrs. Spangenberg. It might also depend on the numbers next year. Once I know I will post that information and it will also be in the handbook next year for the kids and the parents' meeting.
