Nine TJ students were notified yesterday that they were selected to compete in the final round of the Kansas City Chinese Speech Competition on Sunday.
Division I-A: 5th graders Sonia Carlson and Johanna Jeyaraj. Division II-A: 6th graders Savannah Dillard and Bella Scutti, and 7th graders Hallah Butcher, Hannah Triplett, and Haaris Rehman. Division III-B: 9th gradersJasmine Butcher and Hannah Mueller.
Students in Ms. Gao’s 5th, 6th, 8th, and 9th grade Chinese classes prepared and practiced giving a speech in Chinese (from memory). The students submitted videos of their performance, and contest officials viewed and judged the entries this week. The regional Chinese speech competition is presented by several organizations including the Confucius Institute at the University of Kansas, and the University of Missouri at Kansas City. At last year’s competition, TJ students earned 1st place in the High School division, and 1st and 3rd place in the Middle School divisions.
