7th and 8th Grade Orators Impress

The entire Middle School gathered in the Ceres M. Horn Theatre on Friday, May 15 to hear the 10 finalists in the annual seventh and eighth grade oratory program. The students spent much of the spring semester writing their own two- to four-minute orations. Each student was evaluated on their quality of writing and their poise and expression while speaking. This year’s finalists were seventh graders Caroline B., Ellie E., Charlotte M., Laya N., and Shane S. and eighth graders Lacey A., Nicholas C., Christian E., Mimi G., and Benjy S. The event was hosted by emcees Jacob R. ‘20 and Haylie L. ’19.
