4-H Students Excel at District Speaking Contest

Published February 4, 2016

Students across Williamson County are earning a chance to compete in the regional 4-H Speaking Contest.

The Williamson 4-H Speaking Contest was held January 30, and the top two students from each grade level get to advance to the regional competition February 23 in Lebanon. Those students are marked with an asterisk below.

Because of the number of fourth and fifth grade participants, the competition for those two grade levels was divided up into different rooms, nine rooms for fourth grade, three rooms for fifth grade. The top two students from each room were then invited to attend a final “Speak Off” on February 2 where the two regional contestants were chosen.
