The Chronicle has a story by Dayona McLean about 10 students at Paisley IB Magnet School participating in the Optimist Club of Winston-Salem’s annual oratorical contest on Monday, March 18 at Ardmore Church of Christ.
All 10 contestants are in Marshall Marvelli’s English I class. The English curriculum at Paisley includes a public speaking component, so the oratorical program was a perfect fit. Marvelli, who has made the Optimist competition a part of his curriculum, had his 9th grade students write and present their essays in class. He then chose the best to participate in the contest.
The contest is held annually by the Winston-Salem club in coordination with Optimist International’s contest of the same name. Phyllis Elliott, Diana Chew, Anna Carolina Pelaes, Monet Beatty, Caroline Phon, Tristan McGuire, Jayson Williamson, Alexander Holt, David Hill Jr. and Zach Skillings were selected for the competition.
