I am adding the following students to the Spelling crew on the suspicion that they are still interested. I know some are, some may not be.

I have been trying to find the old email addresses, and have finally succeeded.
11-05-09:
Spelling and vocab only:
THE MATERIALS FOR SPELLING AND VOCAB ARE IN!
I have burned CD's with all necessary files on them. Come by Tuesday and pick them up.
11-02-09:
I just posted the schedule for the Birdville meet on Nov 7 on the site under LINKS(last link).
Check to see if you have a conflict.
11-02-09:
I just found out that we have the opportunity to enter 3 ready writing and 3 lit crit competitors for Saturday's invitational:
These are the ones who are eligible to go to the meet, but I have also benn given today as a deadline.
Let me know ASAP if you can go. Mr Johnson will give me or you the details.

Kirby Campbell
Rebisi Owanda
Lit Crit:
Sarah Hoffschwelle

I may enter on a tentative commitment, but once we enter, we have to pay for every entry, whether a student competes or doesn't.
If you have a conflict that day, your parents will need to write the circumstances of the conflict at the bottom of the permission slip and specify drop-ff and pick-up times.
10-28-09:
We will go to the December 5 at Aledo. By then we should have the materials we need.
10-26-09:
This is my first mailing with an updated address file. I know that I am missing a few people, but that can be fixed. A few parents may get stuff also. Mail me if I need to unsubscribe them.
These are the names of those interested in competing in UIL:

Here is what I suggest for for November 7,if we go at all.
The Spelling and Vocab group stays home. We don't have the materials yet.
The Ready Writing team goes. There is little or no preparation involved.
The Lit Crit team goes with great humility to sniff out the competition. I will burn CD's with the required materials for all competitors. I can order more handbooks.
I need to wait to see what Mr Johnson thinks before I ask for people to sign up.
The CD's for the Lit Crit team are made. Pick them up from me.
