Would you like to be more involved in Debate?

MVHS Debate is always in need of judges for our tournaments. Even if you have

never been in debate before, we would be happy to train you. Some events require

no prior knowledge or training, such as Impromptu Speaking or Original Oratory.

If you or anyone you know would be interested in joining our judging pool, please

feel free to contact me at thornbacher@mv.k12.wa.us or my cell, 425-231-2646.

Debate Update Quarterly Shareholder Report

What is the team doing now?

Fundraising

Since the close of our season in March, our team has been busy fund raising for the 2013-2014 Debate

Season. Since late March, we have sold 72 shares of MVHS Debate Team stock, 400 tulips, and worked the

concessions stand for the Division B/C Track and Field state competition. All together we have raised a total

of $1891 in the last two months that will go towards our $14,000 budget for next season.

uniform for the team. Green

ties, white shirts, and black

pants or skirts with the option

to wear a black blazer. Kaitlyn

Getting to know YOUR debaters

Each issue, Debate Update will focus on a different student’s

contribution and success in debate. This issue’s featured debater is

one of our team captains, Lily Kelley. Lily joined the debate team this

year as a junior. Right from the start she excelled in all forms of

argumentation. After seeing one of our policy teams lose a partner,

she quickly switched debate events to help him finish his senior year

season.

Little did we know that these two would go on to be the only

undefeated Policy team on the first day of our State Championship in

April. Unfortunately, they would only make it to quarter finals, but not

before defeating St. George’s #1 Policy Team that only competes on

the national circuit except for the State Championship.

Lily is now one of our captains for next year where she will hopefully

go back and finish where she left off this season and go on to take

the1st place title in 2014!
