   Congratulations to State Street Elementary for their outstanding showing at the Martin Luther King Jr. Oratorical Contest in Rochester. In each division, the students submitted a paper on a specific topic, and if it was chosen, read their speech at the semi-finals.

  Eight students from the 5th and 6th grade were chosen as semi-finalists in this year's competition. Jaden Hubbard, Ryan Racioppo, and Jesse Verner were the semi-finalists in fifth grade. In sixth grade, the semi-finalists were: Jenna Head, Taylor Lindsey, Madison Perry, Taiyah Persi-Roberts, and Kasey Wagner.

   In the fifth grade division, Jaden Hubbard won the first place award and $50. The fifth graders wrote papers and addressed the topic, "Who was Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and why do we celebrate his birthday?"

  We also did a fantastic job in the sixth grade division. These students answered the question, "What was Dr. King's Dream, and in what ways do you feel it has or has not become a reality?" Madison Perry was the first place finisher and earned a $75 prize, while Taylor Lindsey placed second and received $25.

  All prize winners recited their speeches and received their prizes at the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Banquet held at the Holiday Inn in Beaver Falls. Congratulations to all who participated. We are very proud of you!
