Southwest Speech Opens Season with Awards



The Southwest Speech Team had its first meet this last Saturday and is off to a very strong start. 

We are a great mix of returning members (and captains), along with a wonderful crop of new members. 

The students commit (along with the adults) to a nearly 12 hour day (given the location of the tournament) on a Saturday that begins with a brisk group gathering in the parking lot at 6:30 in the morning. The team is always fine spirited and professional (with silliness mixed it) and are a true credit to our school. Please let them know you are proud of them.

Geneva Larche, Henry Aoki,  Shira Rabkin, Raini Lussier, Piper Shatz-Akin, Nathaniel Larson, Maisy Martin all made it to finals. 

Geneva and the duo of Nathaniel and Piper took first in Humorous and Duo (respectively) , while Shira and Maisy took third place in Original Oratory and Creative Expression (again, respectively). Henry (in Original Oratory) took 7th, while Rayni Lussier took a very impressive 5th place in Prose.
