NPSD Black History Oratorical Competition

In celebration of Black History, all North Penn students from grades 3-12 are invited to participate in this year’s Black History Oratorical Competition. The competition is designed to give North Penn public school students an opportunity to shine through public speaking while honoring Black history. Students will recite published speeches or poems from an African-American or Black leader such as Toni Morrison, Michelle Obama, Barack Obama, Malcolm X, Martin Luther King, Jesse Jackson, or others. Your video submission is due on Friday, January 10th, and if selected, you will perform on stage in February for a chance to win some cool prizes. A google form was sent to all families, so sign up and show off your talent!
