Debate Team Winners at Candy Cane Invitational
Congratulations to Gowri T. and Emma S., who won 5th place in the Public Forum Debate category at the Candy Cane Invitational competition at Sullivan East.  Ashor and Lilly won two of their four rounds during the Public Forum Debate as well! Our entire team defied their inexperience and were so successful!  This is an amazing accomplishment because the schools we competed against had many more people they brought with them, this is our school’s second time attending a competition, and this was Emma’s first time ever at a competition. Way to go, Bucs!
