 * Our team meets regularly from late September through February on Wednesdays, and competes at eight local events with schools from Bucks and Montgomery Counties (also on Wednesdays). Events include performance-based readings of stories, plays, and poetry, speeches about current topics in the news, and four different styles of debate. We will help you explore what is right for you!
