In case any of our alumni missed it, we were League Champions, continuing the tradition of being SCDL League Champions for 15 years in a row! We qualified 43 to State and this year it was at Lowell High School in San Francisco. 

At State, we placed 5th! We had 9 Semi Finalists and 5 Finalists.

Semifinalists: Linda, Brenda, Christopher, Evan, Karen, Emily, Ethan, Hubert and Raymond.

Finalists: Kathleen, Jenny, Maggie, Kyle, Keshan and Helen (Duo).

Thank you administrators and parents for all of your support!

Not quite, but someone is. Happy June all supporters of the Gabrielino Speech and Debate team! I thought this would be a fun post if you haven’t yet seen it on air. Our very own alumni, Adrian Zaw, is in his first national commercial! I personally spotted him on air a couple weeks ago. If you haven’t yet seen it on air, you can catch him here! Isn’t he so handsome?

Congratulations! (:

Hello Eagles! We apologize for keeping you all in the dark of our Fundraiser… it’s been a busy couple of weeks. As you know, we had a tournament the next day and we we’re busy preparing for Fall Debate, the first League Debate Tournament of the year! Next on the tournament schedule is Fall Novice at our very own home, Gabrielino High School.

We had such a great turnout at our new location at our Fundraiser it was amazing! There was well over 200 people in attendance and something for everyone to do. Face painting for the kids and students, silent auction for the adults and yummy desserts for everyone to enjoy!

Thank you all for your support! We raised enough money to cover entry fees and transportation! I hope you all had a wonderful time! If you were not able to make it but would still like to support us, there are a couple ways to do that.
1. Take a Ralphs Community Contribution Program with you on your next shopping trip at Ralphs. Have them scan it and each time you shop, Ralphs will donate a percentage of your purchase to our team. (You can pick up the form from the Speech Room or email us your address)

2. Subscribe to the San Gabriel Sun at a promotional rate of $14.95 for 6 months. (Normally $45) Half of the proceeds ($7.50) will be donated to the team and the other half will be donated to the Navy Seal Foundation, a nonprofit created after the tragic deals of our Navy Seals in August. (You can pick up the form from the Speech room or email us your address)

3. Spread the word about the Newsletter, the Ralphs Community Contribution Program and the San Gabriel Sun Promotion! Every bit helps!

Thank you all again for your support and being a part of the family!
