Lincoln North Star Gator Debaters

Congrats, Brooke Meints, for medalling in the Senate today at the NE South NSDA District Congress tournament!

Our girls are on point today, on our way to our last regular season debate meet of the year!

Thanks so much to everyone who made this year's 2017 Gator Open a success! A debate meet like this can only be done with a group effort, and I could not have done it with out all of you! Chandra, who took care of everything at school while I was at home with the stomach flu this week. She has saint-like patience with everything, including the debaters. My team, who worked their tails off to make sure it went swimmingly. And to Toni and Scott who were instrumental to making sure everything went off without a hitch. And to all the judges and coaches who brought their teams and helped judged. This would not be possible without you!

Congrats, Maab Shogar, and Layla Omari, quarterfinalist in Novice Public Forum at LHS today!
