✎ Please indicate any student-authored writings so we can give them special recognition.
✎ Material MUST BE APPROPRIATE for our K-8 audiences. Dramatic presentations are fine; however, ALL recitations must be in good taste (NO questionable, crude or inappropriate words or phrases - all bathroom language is unacceptable for this event).
✎ For this event, presentations should be recited in English only in spoken word (not sung like a song).
✎ School shirts or matching outfits are acceptable, however NO costumes or props (including hats & headbands) allowed! This is a time for focus on ORAL INTERPRETATION, so no distractions, please ^_^.
✎ Maximum length for a presentation is five-minutes - no exceptions! If material is longer, please edit and condense.
Please let us know of students with special needs in your group.
This is a perfect opportunity for all students to memorize and perform before an appreciative audience.
Our Judges are wonderful and experts at working with children.
✰ Students may perform in a smaller group session as available.
✰ Students may go first in the session.
