Student Speakers Need Voice, Materials - RHS Speech Team

My students need binders for performance, books for selections, highlighters for researching the material, and a DVD/VCR player to watch examples of performances.

Mr. D. Riverdale High School
Jefferson, LA Grades 9-12

I am the head coach of a Speech and Debate Team at a public school. The team is for high school students, grades 9-12. I am searching for donations of materials to help us prepare for competition.

This team receives NO funding from the district. The team is totally self-sufficient. Many students find it hard to pay for competition and materials.

With books donated, the students will be more confident in their search for quality literature. They will be able to participate and become better public speakers by watching DVDs of national performances on the DVD player I have selected. Their future will be "brighter" than it is now when using the highlighters and binders donated.

It is donors like you that help students reach their full potential. We cannot do this without you.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
