The students in grades 6, 7 and 8 have been working on composing and delivering persuasive speeches on a topic of their choosing. After several weeks of nervous practice and final speech delivery, two students were chosen to represent Beacon at the Optimist Speech Contest hosted by the Optimist Club. Students from various schools across the city attended the contest. Beacon was proud to be represented by Hailee from Grade 6 for the junior grades and Ava from Grade 8 for the senior grades.
Both girls did a wonderful job at the first round on Tuesday night and were finalists in their prospective groups which meant they returned Thursday for the final round.
Hailee placed first in her age category on Thursday! Wonderful work!
Congratulations to both girls on a job well done! We are glad that you represented our school so well and we are proud of you!
