7th Graders Take Honors at Speech Meet

After hours of hard work and preparation, 7th graders from St. Rose of Lima put their skills to the test in a trophy round speech meet on April 9, 2011.

Sponsored by the Archdiocesan Speech Association (ADA), students from all over the diocese competed in one of six unique speech categories: Humor, Drama, Speechmaking, Poetry, Oratory, and Impromptu.  Students were evaluated by adult critics based on specific criteria for each category.


Although St. Rose of Lima students did not make it to the final round, all seven performed admirably and received special honors for their performances.  They are excited about being able to use this experience to their advantage in next year's 8th grade competitions! Thanks to Coach Hallahan and all the parents that made this possible.
