Rotary Club Announces Student Oratorical Competition Winners During Literacy Month

The Rotary Club of Conyers will present the winners of the Fall 2015 Middle School Oratorical Competition and recognize the sponsors at its noon meeting on Thursday March 24, 2016. “March is Literacy Month for Rotary International,” said Clerk of Courts and Literacy Chair, Ruth A. Wilson. “We believe that the public / private partnership we have created to benefit our public school students should be celebrated as a demonstration of how much we value mastery of the written and spoken word.”

“It is important that students are given these opportunities to not only showcase their academic talent, but to compete in academic extracurricular activities,” said Superintendent Richard Autry. “We truly appreciate the partnership with the Clerk of Courts Office to create this oratorical competition and give students the chance to be rewarded for their hard work and oratory talent.”

In addition to the Clerk of Courts and the Rotary Club of Conyers, sponsors include Snapping Shoals, Lexicon Technologies, and Evans Tool and Die. The meeting will be held at Conyers First United Methodist Church in the Second Floor Activity Room, 921 North Main St NW.
