STE. GENEVIEVE — On Saturday the Valle Catholic Speech Team participated in the Bellarmine speech meet finals at Cor Jesu Academy in St. Louis.
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 and trophies are awarded to participants based upon the total score received from four judges. The top 20 percent receive trophies.
