On Feb. 27, German UIL students participated in State competitions despite icy and chilly conditions.
This year, state competitions were held at Texas State University in San Marcos. Because there were no buses, however, most UIL participants weren’t able to officially go. Instead, students either had to use Skype or had their parents drive them to San Marcos.
Please congratulate the following students for placing at UIL State.
