To make the speech contest fun, engaging, and less threatening\/intimidating for students, we are making this an open invitation. All students with the assistance of their parents or others are invited to submit a one to three minutes video recording of a speech.<\/p>\n\n\n\n PCLS plans to give out awards in the following categories and will make modifications based on the video submissions as needed: Best presentation, Best pronunciation, Best costume, Best props, Best content, Most fun, Most innovative, Best interaction, Most persuasive, and Best emotional integration\/engagement. All videos need to be submitted by December 1 via the Google Link here<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Please refer to the attachment for more information on the 2020 Virtual Speech Open Invitation.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Messages from the Culture Director, Veronica Chen<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Drawing Contest <\/u><\/strong> We have close to 40 submissions from all 4 age groups.
