Congratulations to the Stapleton Speech Team on finishing out their 2023 season!
Cayson Johnston brought home a state medal for Stapleton, receiving 6th place in Extemporaneous Speaking! This was Cayson’s first trip to State Speech. Extemp is a tough event, where the competitors are required to write a 5-7 minute argumentative speech on a drawn topic, usually political in nature. Cayson had to write and perform FOUR speeches yesterday to receive his 6th place medal!
The other students performed very well against some very tough competition in their 3 preliminary rounds. Tessa Hansen nearly made finals in POI, which was decided by a tie breaker, receiving 7th place overall. Tad Dimmit was also very close to making finals in Persuasive Speaking, receiving 8th place overall. This was Tessa and Tad’s second year at State Speech but they were competing in different events. Also competing for their first year at state were Emma Nicholson in Poetry, and Cameron Berliner in Serious Prose.
BOOK FAIR: Because of the snow storm we will be keeping the Book Fair open on Monday and Tuesday. I will be able to sell books from 3:15 - 4:05 on Monday and Tuesday. Hope to see you then - Gary Halstead -Thank yYou!!

Students in 7th Grade Science participated in a lab today to determine if you can add two different substance together and get a new substance. After doing the lab at the macroscipic scale (what we can see with our eyes) students repeated the lab on a simulation where they could observe what is happening at the atomic level.
