Parent Conferences This Week

October 29, 2018

Parent conferences for grades K-8 are this Thursday, Nov. 1 and Friday, Nov. 2.  There is no school for grades K-8 on those two days.  Grades 9-12 have parent conferences only on Friday, Nov. 2 and no school that day.

Saint George’s novice debaters took the Mount Spokane Rookie Rumble by storm this weekend.  Ninth graders Cassie Benson and Maddy Roberts reached the Final Four in Policy debate, while Lincoln-Douglas debater Beth Schwartzwelder reached the Elite Eight.  Benson and Roberts tackled this year’s Immigration Topic; Schwartzwelder debated over how to weigh political candidates’ privacy rights versus the public’s need to know.  

The tournament marked the three novices’ first-ever contest, and took place against GSL and North Idaho schools of all sizes.  In all, a terrific weekend for Saint George’s debate, and a promising start for this year’s rookies.  Go Dragons!
