Dear Speech Coach,
The administration, Speech Coaching Staff, and the Apple Valley American Legion Post 1776 are pleased to invite you to the Minneapple Speech Invitational. In an effort to better meet the needs of students, we offer a Varsity and Novice Division in each event. To better accommodate our entries, we will be in two locations: Apple Valley High School and Falcon Ridge Middle School.
This format is designed to offer students excellent competition suited to their experience level as well as to double the opportunity for final round experience, recognition, and awards. In the Varsity Division competitors will advance to regular and honors finals. We will once again feature the red marble apple to top finishers.
Our tournament is designated as an Extemporaneous Speaking Tournament o
f Champions Qualifier and we are a bid tournament for the National Individual Events Tournament of Champions.
In the past, our tournament has included students from throughout Minnesota, Iowa, Indiana, Nebraska, and Washington. We look forward to more out-state visitors attending the Minneapple. This tournament is a great opportunity to compete with and observe students from a variety of states compete for the apple! We are committed to making this a valuable and rewarding learning experience for all students!
To make this the best possible event, we prioritize hospitality, efficiency, and offer awards galore!
We hope you will join us. We are dedicated to making this a tournament you'll enjoy. We hope to see you February 4th!
Sincerely,
Pam Cady Wycoff and
The Speech Coaching Staff
Apple Valley High School
