{mosimage}Middle Level Advisory suggested a change in categories for the 2006-2007 school year from Extemporaneous Reading to Moments in History. Teresa Shelton, Middle Level Advisory, pointed out that the old category was no longer attracting students as it had in the past. Upon review categories in the Senior Division, Teresa felt that Moments in History would be a good addition. The Advisory Committee adapted the category to fit better in to Middle Level. Coaches will find the rules, description and ballot for this new category on the web site by November.
