Speech, Speech!

Blair’s long-range plans continue to call for a greater emphasis on teaching public speaking. Seniors have taken to the podium for the last five years or more, but it was just this past week that a select group of sophomores (chosen by their peers) went on stage for their first public speaking competition. English teacher Charles Danhof announced the winners at the April 18 School Meeting, lauding their fine efforts. The winners are as follows: first place: Jeremy Joachim (pictured, video below); second place, Haven Donovan; third place, Jordan Janis; fourth place: Nico Parauda.

Congratulations to all!
