You will receive your judges’ packet with rules, payment information, maps, examples of ballots, etc. at the meeting. You will be viewing a video released by the IHSSA on judge expectations at this meeting. Do make sure you familiarize yourself with IHSSA Constitution rules for your specific category(ies).
Lunch will be provided for you. As my roots are with the "farm", we've got some great hearty soul food planned for you.
A judges’ room will be available…stocked with goodies all day!
Thank you and KUDOS to you all for reaching out to the IHSSA as well as Valley High School. We are honored to host your expertise, your warm hearts, and your artistry! If you have any questions/concerns/good jokes, please make certain you share them with me.
In the spirit of the IHSSA!
