Thanks to your generosity, our SLVHS Debate Team was able to attend multiple virtual competitions this season, and what an incredible journey it's been! Your support helped cover essential registration and judging fees, giving our students the chance to compete against schools from across the country, gain valuable feedback from experienced coaches, and continue developing their confidence and communication skills. These experiences are truly transformative for our students, especially in a small rural school where opportunities like these are rare.\r\n\r\nOne of the standout moments for our team was qualifying one student for the National Speech and Debate Association National Tournament. Your support didn't just help fund a few competitions; it opened doors. It inspired students to keep pushing themselves, to find their voices, and to believe in their ability to make an impact through words. Thank you for helping shape confident, thoughtful, and articulate young leaders.
