Gratitude
St. Margaret of Scotland hosted one of the 2/8 tournaments, which would not have been possible without the wonderful support of our parents, alumni, community members, and SMOS students!
Thank you so much to those who served as timekeepers: Kristina Greiner, Nicole-Noelle, Emily Adams, Theresa Schlafly, Chrissy Callison, Daniel Chilinski, Neriah Harris, Misty Henke, Ryan Ohs, Norah Overberg, Lizzie Pera, James Rocca, Michelle Searcy, Michelle Stevens, Kristen Wimbley and Lisa Whealon.
Additional thanks for Kristina Greiner, Michelle Stevens, Misty Henke, Ryan Ohs, and Michelle Searcy who helped guide participants through our SMOS campus in the rain. Nicole-Noelle and Ryan Ohs were instrumental in clean-up after the tournament (thank you both so much for taking on this less-than-exciting role).
Angela Faul and James Rocca served as supervisors for our teams, and we are grateful to you both for ensuring safety for our SMOS students.
Thank you to Ron Knapp and Kelly Simon for serving as judges this weekend!
We are very appreciative to Janel Esker and James Frazier for serving on the Bellarmine Board and ensuring that the tournaments this weekend ran as smoothly as possible.
We are truly grateful to our leadership team at SMOS, Mr. Patrick Holley and Mrs. Mary Grace Villmer, for their support in hosting the tournament this weekend. Also a special thanks to Ms. Melissa Ordwary and Ms. Chris Stephens for their administrative support. Thank you to our wonderful SMOS teachers for giving our speech team members a chance to perform for your classes, as well as offering your classrooms for performance spaces for the tournament. We appreciate your consideration and support very much.
