Our lower and middle school first place winners will represent HCES at the county contest at FAMU on January 28th.

In Lower School, the Tropicana Public Speaking contest was the culmination of a month long public speaking unit in fourth and fifth grades. The children chose speech topics and used the writing process to write their own original speeches. After the speeches were written, the students practiced and timed their speeches in preparation for the classroom contests. In December, each class held a classroom contest and had a panel of judges select winners who then attended the school contest.

In Middle School, the speech is open to 6th graders who volunteer to participate, ultimately presenting their speeches in front of the entire middle school student body and volunteer judges. 

Congratulations to all!
