Our opponent for this round was Battle Lake. Alexandria argued the plaintiff s side of the case during this trial and Battle Lake was the defense. Our three witnesses Paige Mackadenz, Josie Nelson, and Brennan Chase did a fabulous job of portraying their character witnesses. Our attorneys Emma Ziegler, Luke Paschka, and Sam Kuennen presented a solid case. Battle Lake had three very good witnesses and one very accomplished attorney. It was a tightly contested trial. The judges ruled in favor of the plaintiff (Alexandria) on the merits of the case. Scoring-wise, Alexandria received a score of 208 and Battle Lake a score of 197. That puts our team s record at 3-0 as we head into Round 4 of the Region 2 competition. Our next trial is on February 9 th, but we won t know who our opponent will be until January 30 th.

A & B Days if School is Closed We apologize for any confusion there may have been regarding A & B Days at AAHS following the snow day last Friday, November 18 th, when school was closed. Due to the fact that AAHS interacts with many business partners and we have many speakers set up to come into the classrooms, the A & B Day schedule is set and remains the same regardless of snow days. For

5 example, Monday, November 21 st was scheduled to be a B Day. AAHS was closed on Friday, November 18 th due to the snowstorm and it was an A Day. Therefore, Monday, November 21 st remained a B Day. If we have a number of snow days and they all happen to be on A Days (or all on B Days), then administration will re-evaluate and may change the AB schedule near the end of each semester to make sure students are receiving the same number of A & B Days. You will be informed if the AB schedule changes near the end of the semester.
