On Saturday, eight students competed at the Middle School Forensics Meet in Milton.
There are twelve categories to compete in. Our students were involved in the Four Minute Speech, Solo Acting, Television Broadcasting, Demonstration Speech, and Poetry.
Public speaking is a valuable skill. There are two more competitions in Middle School Forensics. Elementary Forensics will begin in February -- so stay tuned!!
