Rotary Club of Clemmons Sponsors Student Speech Contest
Students at West Forsyth High School recently completed a speech contest held by the Rotary Club of Clemmons on the topic of “Student Ethics / the Rotary Four-Way Test”. The contest was completely voluntary, and 112 WFHS student submitted speeches. The initial 112 entries were read and judged by a panel of Clemmons Rotarians, to get down to the 10 finalists. The 10 finalists then made verbal speech presentations to a Rotary Panel of judges. The “Top 4” speeches were determined, and these four students then presented them to the Rotary Club of Clemmons members last Wednesday. The contest winners are: 1st Claire Shu, 2nd Emmanuellene Shallua, 3rd Jamie Ainsworth, 4th Jenna Whitner. 1st Place Winner Claire Shu will now compete in the Rotary District Speech Competition on February 28.
