The following students are going to NATIONALS!

Gatlin Newhouse (senior/second year at Nationals)

Carolyn Carter (sophomore)

Spencer Schumacher (freshman)

Seth Stevens (senior)

Erin Donelson (sophomore and going as coach assistant)

We get NO FUNDING from our school board, so please help us!  We are not allowed to drive to Florida, so airfare is really costing us this year.

And just FYI to people who may not know, we raise $12,000 just to get us through the regular season. Each competition with school bus transportation and entry fees costs us $800.   And we have 12 of them.

Coupon books, cookies, our Mr. NOHS pageant, we host a tournament, we sell poinsettias, greenery, citrus, and we host a performance night. 

It is exhausting. And we have gone through our budget with TWENTY-plus students on the team.  It is worth the tireless efforts to make these dreams come true!

The NOHS Speech Team is an AMAZING group of talented, articulate, driven young people!

We have grown from 3 members back in 2003 to 22 members this year (check out our page on Facebook to see pictures of the team members and notes on our competition season!

We are currently:

TOP TEAM IN THE COUNTY!

REGIONAL RUNNERS-UP! We have been one of the top three teams in the region for the past 6 years!

TOP FIFTEEN TEAM IN THE STATE!

TWELFTH STRAIGHT YEAR SENDING STUDENTS TO NATIONALS!

And to think it all started in 2003 with a trio of students riding to a competition in a mini-van. My, how we have grown!

We have traveled to many tournaments across the state this year and have placed in the top overall sweepstakes category at nearly every competition. We have had high numbers of finalists each time and many repeat champions!

This year, we are proud to have 4 NOHS students to represent our school and the KCFL state speech league at the National Grand Tournament in Fort Lauderdale this coming Memorial Day weekend!

The students work throughout the year to raise money for the team. Because we don't receive any funding whatsoever, we must work constantly to raise funds for competition fees, transportation, scripts and supplies, etc.

We have membership fees, sell cookies/fruit/poinsettias, host a tournament, etc. And since we have 22 students on the team, our monetary needs have essentially doubled this year. These students are continuing to do what they can when it comes to our fundraisers, but we REALLY need your help to not only get these four students to nationals, but also to get a head-start on our budget for next year.

We anticipate having 25 students on the team next year, so please do your part to help these students!

We are currently the NUMBER ONE team in our county, NUMBER TWO in our region, and one of the top 15 teams in the state for the Kentucky HS Speech League!

That's why we need YOUR HELP! We are asking that you please donate to our cause--get these 4 students to nationals and also help us with next year's needs! We are a small school and it is difficult to find sponsorships for our students--and they deserve this honor without having to worry about the money issue.

In short, we would be honored if you could donate and help these talented, honorable, sweet, wonderful students to be the best they can be--especially on the national level! We will always make you proud!

SPECIAL NOTE: If you are an alumni member of a speech team, then you especially know the importance of keeping our funds up for the season! I am hoping that my former team members (from both BGHS AND NOHS) will help us for sure!

Sincerely,

Rosemary Cundiff-Brown

NOHS Speech Coach

2003-Present
