OTC High School STEM Event Opportunity

Mr. Han, our BEST Robotics team sponsor, has received an invitation to bring a group of EE students to attend a High School STEM Event on May 9th at this year's Offshore Technology Conference.

Students will participate in hands-on energy exploration experiments provided by the US National Energy Education Development (NEED) Project, meet industry professionals, and tour the latest state-of-the-art technology exhibits in a scavenger hunt. Lunch will be provided.

Students must be 15 years and older to take part in this free event on Thursday May 9th at Reliant Center. Only 200 students have been invited to attend this event, so it is a great honor and privilege to get to go. It is also an amazing opportunity for students to learn about technology and careers in the oil & gas industry.

If your student would like to be part of this select group, please contact Mr. Han to let him know. Send the name and age of your student to phan1357@yahoo.com by April 24th. We'll also need adults to chaperone the students at a ratio of 1 adult per 8 students. If you would like to chaperone, please let Mr. Han know as well.

We are Christian families looking to build our Young Knights into strong men through the life challenges of football. Leadership, teamwork, sacrifice, discipline, athleticism, and valor are character traits we look to instill in these men of tomorrow.

The team is located in Greater Montgomery County. Off season workouts are going on right now. This includes weight training, cross fit workouts and flag football games. Great opportunity for guys to keep their conditioning up and get to know new team members before season starts.

Speech Tournament Judges Needed

2013 NCFCA Region 4 Invitational
Wednesday, May 1 -
Friday, May 3, 2013
Champion Life Centre 
3031 FM 2920, Spring, TX 77388

Click the link below to sign up to judge:
http://www.ncfcaregistration.com/NCFCAJudgeSelection.aspx?Region=4

Please consider the opportunity to judge at the NCFCA Region 4 Invitational on May 1-3. The season is almost over, and the top competitors are invited to compete at the Regional Invitational.  Over 150 students from across Texas and Oklahoma will be competing in this tournament which includes Lincoln-Douglas Value and Team Policy debate, as well as Interpretive (Humorous, Duo, etc.), Platform and Limited Preparation speech events (including Apologetics--which is like watching a 6 minute, in-depth sermon).

Judging is the best way to know if this is an activity that your family/children would benefit from, and you can bring your students with you to view the rounds you judge.

Over 430 community judges are needed to serve during this three day competition. Our students will be relying on your valuable feedback for improvement, growth and encouragement. No experience in either speech or debate is necessary.

Judging each round is a three hour commitment which includes a thirty minute judge orientation with complimentary meal, snacks and beverages. Arrival time and orientation is factored in to the time slot so there is no need to arrive early. You may choose to judge a single round on one day or multiple rounds over the course of the three day tournament.

We appreciate your interest in helping train students in their speaking skills so that they may rise up and represent our values someday! 

I hope to meet you at the tournament, I hope you will see what an invaluable experience it is to attain this skill for your child and how students will use it for  a lifetime.  When they leave our nest, they will need to have examined the Word and have an "answer" for their faith and to the questions they will get at college or in the community.  Try to sign up to judge Apologetics, you will be impressed, I am sure of it.

For more information about the league, go to www.ncfca.org.

If you have further questions, feel free to contact Melanie Corley at region4judges@gmail.com.

Hope to see you at the tournament!
