Fees through this past weekend have been posted, except for I believe Marshall. Marshall will be posted in the next couple of days. Please be conscientious of these--they need to be paid by the end of the year, and the sooner the better! We've had a heavy travel schedule, and these fees may have added up for some kids that have traveled more extensively. The sum does not need to be paid all at once, but it DOES need to be paid by the end of the year. The more fees we accrue, the more difficulty we have with getting our travel approved, so PLEASE pay these as you are able to.
For IFLs, we will be leaving Roosevelt on a school bus at 2:30, Thursday, March 1st. We will be returning Saturday, March 3rd, at 7:30 (*leaving Iowa City at 7:30 to return at approximately 9:15). We will be staying at the Iowa House Hotel, which is connected to the Iowa Memorial Union on the University of Iowa Campus.
RE: Congress Qualifiers. Currently, we have:
Senate:
Ellie H
Finn A
House:
Wyatt J
Olivia A
Claire K
Amelia P
Sarah S
Grace G
Quinn M
signed up. There are two slots remaining in House. If your child wants an additional opportunity at qualifying for Nationals, or just wants the extra NSDA points, please reach out to me! Congress qualifiers is taking place on March 17th, on the DMACC campus.
For ToCs: We currently have between 13-15 kids signed up. The current plan is to travel with Johnston and/or Ames, and take a bus, if possible. Otherwise, we'll need to take two vans and will travel independently. ToCs takes place on April 28-30. We will plan to return May 1st, or travel through the night/afternoon on the 30th. elimination rounds start on the 30th, and it's a long drive to Lexington. The exact logistics for travel will be determined sooner rather than later, but the intention is to stay at the Campbell House in Lexington.
Please let me know if you have any questions!
