MHS individuals compete in district speech

By Liesl Roorda

A great group of Montezuma students traveled to Pekin Saturday, Feb. 29, to compete in the District Individual Speech Contest. 

All of our students gave wonderful,  heart-felt and fun performances. 

Some of these were first time performers.  Some had written their own material, and some were competing in a speaking contest in English for the first time. 

Those receiving 1 ratings will move on to state contest to be held at Grinnell High School on Saturday, March 14.
