We thank our grade level representatives who worked so hard to deliver their speech in front of all of the Grade 3-8 students, staff and our visitors at our Public Speaking Finals which took place this past Wednesday, March 4^th at 1:30pm in our school gym. A big congratulations goes out to Marissa A., whose speech on “Bullying” is going to be moving onto the Regional Public Speaking competition held at Queen of Heaven School in April.

We congratulate Rukky O. whose poster was submitted as our school’s winning representation. Many of the posters, including Rukky’s are displayed on a bulletin board in the front hall of the school. A photo has also been “Tweeted” out on our school’s “Twitter.” Congratulations again to Rukky!
