Loud and Proud
March 13, 2024
Students attended the MUDECAS speech meet on Saturday, January 27th in Humboldt. Kalyb Fortney and Alexis Huls performed poetry selections with the competition. The NSAA has teamed up with Special Olympics for promoting social inclusion within the fine arts activities. Speech teams across the state have students with intellectual disabilities on their rosters. They will shine a spotlight of inclusion on these students during the 2024 NSAA State Speech Championships. For each of the six classes, NSAA will create two additional sections to participate in unified speech: exhibition. Alexis and Kalyb received some wonderful suggestions to help them improve on their poetry selections from the judges at MUDECAS. They did an awesome performance and received excellent ratings. Mrs. McKinney helped the students prepare for the competition. Mrs. Barnhart is the speech coach and registered them with the MUDECAS tournament. Congratulations to Lexi and Kalyb for sending out their messages of poetry "Loud and Proud."
