Attention Freshmen, Make sure that you turn in your permission slips to your resource teachers today.

Attention speech and debate students, Don’t forget that we do have practice on Thursday after school even though there are field trips. Also, don’t forget that the speech and debate sign-up forms and money are due on Thursday as well. Please see Ms. Reis and Mr. Nelson for any questions.

This weekend, the first step to Signature’s pilot journey into the world of debate was a startling success. Our team of senior debaters: Umar Waseem, Aparna Kudiyirikkal Anil, Kaylee Kramer, and Archit Maurya score tenth out of 26 teams from all across Indiana in the West Lafeyette World Schools Debate tournament. Congratulations, team PengWins!
