Ex Nihilo Friends,
A few notes for the coming weeks:
100% — This is our spring goal for club presence in the sanctuary at 6pm! Junior students, clean-up team, security rovers — please help everyone come on in for 10 opening minutes to collectively pray for those traveling (to Palm Springs this week), to hear our speech tip of the week, and to catch the announcements that will help keep you in the loop.
Club Photo: Be prepared for the possibility of a quick, casual club photo this week (Monday, Jan 13th) at 6pm, for submission to the Stoa yearbook. We’ll have a formal photo later in the month, date TBD.
Scripts for Coaching: Prepared-speech competitors, bring a copy of your speech script, to include citation page, for coach review in your speech room each week. We want to help you successfully submit your error-free speeches for each upcoming tournament.
Room Assignments: Beginning this week, our coaching rooms are now open and flexible for coaching any type of event. Students, feel free to find a new coach to hear your material! Students not actively receiving feedback during a coaching block should be listening and observing in a coaching room. The sanctuary will be used for Imprompu skills and drills for those not in another event. As always, check the whiteboard for last minute changes.
Student Survey: Students, would you mind taking three minutes to fill out this quick survey as we head into our spring semester? Parents, please forward/assist so that we can collect goals and needs to help for the remainder of the year. Click here: Ex Nihilo Student Survey Jan 2025.
