| Why do interp? Because it's fun!!! |
| Congratulations goes out to our novice interpers for completing the four Sioux Falls novice tournaments! Way to represent! There are many highlights to report so far this year - too many to mention. First there is the incredible leadership by the team captains- Kate, Morgan, Katie and Kevin! Then there is the pure joy of being around the Oral Interp I students. What a wonderful bunch to have on our team!! We are very proud of their efforts, talent and dedication! As the first season reaches the half way point - there are still many pieces to get up and running and as always - many pieces to continue to polish. No matter what phase you are in - it's fun to be around such inspirational individuals. Nancy Tapken has joined our team and has been very beneficial! We have placed 1st and 2nd in AA Sweepstakes at the first three tournaments so things are going extremely well. There is truely a team effort at OG and we will continue to grow and enjoy the process! God Bless!! |
