Fifth and Sixth Grade Orators

On March 8, the entire Middle School and current fourth graders gathered in the Ceres M. Horn Theatre to hear this year's fifth and sixth grade oratory finalist deliver a variety of presentations, some serious, some funny, and more than one about a mischievous kid who gets into trouble by talking too much! Some students even wrote their own pieces. During the past few months, every fifth and sixth grade student spent countless hours memorizing an oratory selection and presenting it in English class. At the end of the assembly, one inspired rising fifth grader announced to his friends, "Next year, I'm going to recite the Gettysburg Address or make up my own speech!"
