The Middle School Speech Contest this Wednesday was an incredible event, focusing on the challenging and complex topic of whether testing on animals should be allowed. We were truly impressed by the depth of research and the compelling arguments presented in so many intriguing speeches, which made for an incredibly close contest. A special thank you goes out to our judges, Mrs. Bradley, Mrs. Pecora, and Mrs. Wong, for their time! After careful deliberation, we are excited to congratulate our 1st place winner, Brooke from the 8th grade, as well as the three students who tied for 2nd place! Carla from the 8th grade, Sydney from the 7th grade, and Luna from the 7th grade. Congratulations to every student who participated; your courage, dedication, and powerful voices made the contest a huge success. We are very proud of all of you!
