Speech
This year the speech team participated in district and confer-
ence contests. The team had
individuals competing in
several cat- egories in-
eluding hu- morous
prose, poetry, serious
prose, and in- formative.
Each member had to write
and present their own
s p e e c h e s . Overall, the
speech team was given an
excellent rat- ing in all ar-
eas. Although the speech team only competed in two con-
tests, they learned a number of skills that will help them in
the future.
