Anyone who knows me, knows how excited I was to be asked to be a teacher musician during Sleigh Ride at the school assembly today! The show was absolutely amazing! Thanks for letting me join in the fun! A favorite day of the year!
In case you missed it, here is video of Hamzah's World Schools Debate team ("North Coast Green") being awarded as Quarter-Finalists at #Nats23! 5th out of 183 teams across seven countries! #CLEspeaks#OHspeaks#BeATitan#SpeechandDebate
Patrick joins the ranks of #VHS4N6 alumni as the all time points leader, 4x state qualifier, 3x Gay Janis Most Outstanding Congressional Debater award winner, and 3x National Qualifier. A storied career which is unparalleled in team history. He will do great things! #GoIrish
Sadly, Patrick’s run at the National Tournament ended yesterday. However, we were able to get this picture of Mr Snook’s first Vermilion National Qualifier (Jacob far right) and his most recent (Patrick far left).
Cleveland has 4 of the top 15 Middle School Public Forum teams in the country! Good luck to Kenston and the three teams from Solon competing in the modified octofinal round. Kenston going up again Bob Lanier Middle School from Houston, Texas
Unfortunately, the magical run ended in QF, but Hamzah & NC Green/Emerald will be recognized on stage tonight at the Phx Convention Center! (Just waiting now while the room fills to capacity!) #WSD#BeATitan#CLEspeaks#OHspeaks
UPDATE: Whether you call them "Emerald" or "Green," you better call them QUARTERFINALISTS! Hamzah's squad just broke to TOP 8 in the NATION at #Nats23! (And as this is World Schools Debate, I guess that's Top 8 in the WORLD!) #NextOne#BeATitan#OHspeaks#CLEspeaks#WSD
