We gave our Soapbox speeches yesterday and it was a blast. Our students got to interact with students from other schools, share ideas, and listen to some speeches about topics many of us never considered. It was a wonderful event; eye-opening for many. Our three presenters did a wonderful job with their speeches. Our other students were respectful and engaged audience members. It was a great time.
