Noah Anderson (9th grade) received the gold medal for Novice Entertainment Tessa Hansen (12th grade) received a 7th place medal in Varsity Poetry. With the super limited practice they have had, they all performed very well, many of them placing in middle or the top half of their event. Most Varsity events averaged 30 participants! Stapleton placed 16th out of 29 schools as a team! Congratulations and good luck at MNAC Speech in Taylor Wednesday!
