Team awards day. Each student has given a valuable contribution to our team this year. Seniors received their NSDA Honor Society Honor Cords. We also presented The Green Award to honor the valuable contributions of Max Green 2021 and Claire Green 2022 to help found our team. Founders often do the hard work that may not seem significant at the time. But so many reap the benefit from the seeds they planted. The Green Award is for excellent spirit in debate and Madison Arenaz was the recipient. Thank you Max and Claire for joining us on Butter, as well our Debate parents, and friends who joined in person.

This week, Kuhno Lee competed in the National Speech and Debate Association's Asynchronus Big Questions online video debate. This is a new twist for everyone on a familiar style of debate. Now, we wait for judging and results. Technology continues to shape the future of Debate.

Proud to represent ASMSA judging IPDA Nationals at UCA this weekend! Love IPDA Debate and hope to be doing more of this style with ASMSA in the future. IPDA is a minimal prep style Debate that teaches you to think fast and talk smart. If you are interested in debating with ASMSA Debate Team next year let us know. We have a style of debate for everyone!
