Students prepare for Oratorical Fest January 30

Teachers are introducing or will introduce the 2025 Annual Oratorical Fest assignment to their homerooms. Each student will pick a piece approved by their teacher, compete with their classmates memorizing a poem, and recite it in front of the class during January. 
 
Parents are welcome to support their student by helping to choose an appropriate poem and being a practice audience to your student! 
 
TWO students in each grade will then participate in the Oratorical Fest on Thursday, January 30, in front of the school and guests at 9 a.m. in the School Gym hosted by SLT.  Please ask teachers for any clarifying information.
 
Student representatives and their families will be notified January 22 if they will be performing their poem. 
 
Student guidelines are:
 
**Grades TK – 2: 4 – 12 lines
**Grades 3 – 5: 10 – 24 lines
**Grades 6 – 8: 20 – 36 lines
