Follow on Google News | Northcoast Prep Freshman Zoe Osborne Wins Student Speaker ContestCongratulations to Zoe Osborne, Freshman at Northcoast Preparatory Academy (NPA) for winning Zone-level Lions Club Student Speaker Contest. Zoe goes on to the regional finals by April 8.
The purpose is to encourage and support development of public speaking as a critically important leadership skill. Participants research the topic, organize the presentation, and then deliver to a supportive audience. "The Lions Club Student Speaker Contest helped me develop skills in writing in a powerful yet concise way," says Zoe. "I think that lots of students have thoughts on subjects--such as freedom of the press--that are relevant and helpful to today's society. This contest provides a platform to help spread our ideas." Barry Bialkoski, District Governor of 4C-2 District notes that "students have really responded well to the topic 'Freedom of the Press what does it mean?'" He adds, "These contests help train the students to be active leaders by learning to speak in public." Sponsored by The California Lions Club.
