Kings Chapel student wins county elementary oratorical contest
School System’s gifted classes competed in the Elementary School Oratorical
Contest on Jan. 31. The topic for this year’s competition was “Why
My Voice is Important.”
The 2012-2013 winners:
· First place –
Jackson Riddle, Kings Chapel Elementary; Coaches Amber Churcher and Dr.
Jennifer Wynn;
· Second place –
Rachel Micheal, David Perdue Elementary; Coaches Amy Floyd and Sheila Love; and
· Third place –
Jessica Kelly, Shirley Hills Elementary; Coach Lara Stanley.
These top students will present their speeches at
the March 12 Houston County Board of Education Board meeting. Cash awards
of $25, $15 and $10 were awarded, respectively, to first- through third-place
winners. All students received a certificate of participation.
The school representative is selected by a panel
of judges at the school level. Fifth-graders create a two-minute speech
and strive to win at the school level and also qualify for the system
competition. Three judges – high school debate coaches and the executive
director for elementary facilities – selected the top three speakers using a
rubric.
