Our Lady Queen of Peace students named winners in declamation contest

Hewitt — A number of students at Our Lady Queen of Peace were named winners in Principal Hewitt’s Declamation Contest. The students picked from a list of songs, famous poems, nursery rhymes, or political speeches to perform in front of an audience of students and special guests. They were judged on several criteria: selection, performance, memorization, elocution, style, appearance, believability (voice) and overall performance. “It’s a reminder of what our children can accomplish if we only set our expectations high enough,” said Hewitt. “I thought it went very well and I am thrilled for the children.” Declamation Contest Winners: Ann Oltmann’s Principal’s Challenge Maxim Maiello Ashley Sanchez Grades 6 through 8 David McMahon Timothy Lungren Jack Walsh Kevin Kane Grades 3 through 5 Rachael Bakunas Colleen Coyman Skylar Andrade Kindergarten through grade 2 Daniel Goodsir Brianna Cassella Daniel Boscarino Pre-Kindergarten Hai-Yan Koenig
