Dear Parents and Guardians,
Our PSIA event on Saturday was wonderful. From my teachers and parent coaches, to our tireless volunteers, to all who donated food and gift cards/money, I would like to thank everyone who made this day possible and a success.
On behalf of myself and the teachers, I would like to congratulate our students who competed Saturday. Each represented St. Mary’s wonderfully. Many of our students have qualified for the State competition on May 7th in Fort Worth at Texas Christian University.
Congratulations to St. Mary’s Catholic School students!!!!

FOR CLARIFICATION
-
ADVANCING TO STATE. In all contests, except Creative Writing, One-Act Play, and Storytelling, a minimum of four students from at least two different schools must compete in the grade level OR combined grade levels of the event in order for two students to advance to State. If only three compete (from one or more schools), only one may advance to State. In the event that only one or two students compete, neither student advances to State. In Creative Writing, Math 2 and 3, and Storytelling, only ONE advances from each grade level if at least four compete. Grade levels may be combined to meet minimum entries. If grades are combined, students will compete with the higher grade at all levels of competition. For contests that are officially combined for competition, the top two scoring students advance, regardless of grade level. No teams, other than One-Act Play, may advance to the State Meet. Students MUST actually compete in a District contest in order to be counted among those to meet minimal requirements for contestants to advance to State from that event. If contestants tie for 2nd place in an objective contest, both advance to State.
-
ALTERNATES TO STATE: The first alternate ONLY from each of the 58 grade level contests will be eligible to compete at State in the absence of a first or second place qualifying contestant from their own district. If contestants tie for 2nd place, there is no first alternate to advance in the absence of a 1st or 2nd place qualifier. There will be no first alternate when tied 2nd place individuals advance to State. In the case of a 3rd place tie, both 3rd place students serve as 1st alternates, and both advance to state should either the 1st or 2nd place student drop out of the competition.
Have a wonderful week.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Wyles
