6th Grade at the Ford’s Theater Oratory Festival

Last week our sixth grade students did a fantastic job representing our school and school division at the Ford’s Theater Oratory Festival. Since October, the students worked on a regular basis with a Ford’s Theater Teaching Artist to build their public speaking skills and learned to inspirationally communicate ideas. Each class learned a speech by Abraham Lincoln and then all their hard work culminated in the presentation on stage at Ford’s Theater.  It was awesome to see the confidence that the children displayed as they performed for parents, visitors, and other students from around the DC, MD, VA area.

Congratulations 6th graders!  You did a fantastic job! I am so proud of your work :).
