015years out of three which is a pretty big deal it's a big undertaking uh there were 900 students there from 85 schools uh 12 categories along with 500 judges and 150 coaches so when I walked into Fitch that day I just couldn't get over the kids were just everywhere everywhere they were pacing up and down the Halls talking to themselves because you know they were going to be delivering a speech um Mia Ruchi who is a junior fit says the tournament is competitive it's a lot of fun and the best thing it gives her lifelong skills and I did not know this but I found this out that it's a year-long commitment the kids practice three to four hours at least three days a week and then they report very early Saturday morning like I
016think six o'clock in the morning uh and they're in professional dress and they don't get back until about 3:00 and some of the categories that they participate in are original oratory and they have to write their own speech and they have to memorize it and then another example is humorous interpretation and Terry Dutton our uh speech and debate coach shared that all of our teachers and support staff they helped to make it a huge success showcasing our district so again you know we just keep like Rolling Along here with great things to celebrate here in our school so that's it for me um as always I'd like to thank our Don uh for your generosity for our schools a lot of things we do wouldn't be able to happen without uh about without your donation
