Going to State!!!

Today Jeffery went to district Speech contest as part of the Linn Mar Television team.

They did well they received all 1's and will be gong to the State Speech contest in two weeks that will be held in Linn Mar High School this year. 13 of the 17 groups that Linn Mar took to district will be going to state.

There were a couple of things that they were told they need to improve one was the commercial and the other was how they led into one of their main stories. I am not sure if they are allowed to make changes or not.

Linn Mar does do a daily television news program in which Jeffery is a member of. The entire crew with the exception of Kevin Fry, he the adult mentor, is students and he has them do almost everything. Any student who attends Linn Mar High School can be on the television team but they have to be willing to be there an hour and a half before school most mornings. The anchors are usually Seniors with an occasional Junior substituting. Jeffery is usually behind the camera he usually is making sure that everyone who is behind the camera knows their job and how to do and if they don't know how he will teach them. He has been on the television crew since he was a Freshman.
