Debate Team Calendar

Hi Students,

I'm trying to streamline the scheduling/practice debates/signups process. One way I've done that is that I've posted a debate team calendar at 30 boxes.com. You can view it by clicking the link to the right of this message. I'll post practices, tournaments, car washes, other fundraisers, etc. there. If I get really technologically awesome, I'll figure out a way to use it for y'all to sign up for practice debates (without allowing you to delete the calendar!). How? I'm getting close...

Watch this space for updates.
