STE. GENEVIEVE – Last month, the Valle Catholic Speech Team participated in a Bellarmine speech meet at St. Margaret Mary Alacoque in St. Louis, Mo.
In speech meets, students in grades 5-8 develop and improve their public speaking skills by memorizing and performing material in Humorous, Serious, and Duet categories.
Ribbons are awarded to participants based upon the total score received from two judges.
Team members from left to right:
Humorous Solo: Isaac Eftink (8th grade): red ribbon for “The Cat’s Meow” by Robert L Crowe
Serious Solo: Mackenzie Buchheit (8th grade): blue ribbon for “Who Am I” by Cheri Jensen
Humorous Duet: Drake Meyer and Alaric Drost (8th grade): blue ribbon for “A Grave Situation” by Ken Bradbury
A perfect score of 30 points earns a gold ribbon.
A score of 27-29 points earns a blue ribbon.
A score of 22-26 points earns a red ribbon.
Congratulations to all students on their excellent performances!
The team is coached by Sara Drost.
