All entries will be judged, and will receive a 1st, 2nd, 3rd, or Honorable Mention ribbon with feedback from the judges. Set-up for the fair will begin at 9:00 AM, and judging will begin at 9:30 AM. Your child may submit more than one entry if desired, but an entry form is required for each individual project.

Public Speaking Demonstration by Highschool Students workshop

Public speaking is something that sends many people running in the opposite direction, yet it is considered to be one of the most important skills a person can have.
On Wednesday, April 16, from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.,  Legacy for Christ Speech and Debate Club student leaders will be visiting WCHE to instruct and demonstrate public speaking and debate.  Your student will get to see other students their own age who have come to love speaking on the public platform.  The goal of this short mini session will be to encourage your student to equip themselves to become confident communicators for Christ in our world.  There will be fun speech related activities, demonstrations of competitive speeches, and instruction on why it is important to develop this skill.  

The entire class will be taught by high school students who are actively working to become engaging and competent communicators.  Parents are welcome to stay and watch or drop and leave. 

LOCATION: 
Willow Creek Church
Winter Springs, FL
