4-H SPEECH CONTEST WINNERS AT RIVERSINK

Special to The Sun

Fourth and fifth grade students took the stage on March 29th for Riversink’s Annual Speech Contest. A variety of speech titles were presented including “Natural Hair Styles,” “Wal-Mart vs Publix,” “Let’s Go Exotic,” and “The Everglades.” Judges were impressed by the outstanding quality of the speeches this year! Speeches were judged by community members Jo Ann Daniels, Katie Hart, and James Vernon.
Our top 4th grade speech was from contestant Danney Trim with her speech on “Cowboys”. Second place overall went to Andie McKee with her speech on “Wakulla Springs State Park”. Our first-place overall winner went to Penelope Watters with her speech titled “Mirror Mirror on the Wall”. Riversink Principal Catherine Cutchen said,  “Once again, Riversink students were so impressive with incredible speeches. Students did an exemplary job presenting on a variety of topics with such amazing poise.”
