speech team
The Melrose Speech Team traveled to Perham today to compete in the Perham Jacket Classic. 22 teams were in attendance and we took home the championship trophy! It was a great day all around, and we are so happy the weather finally cooperated so we could actually compete. We only have one regular season meet left, which is our home meet. That competition will take place next Saturday, March 25. Remember that speech meets are open to the public and there is no charge to attend. If you know someone on the speech team (or one of the coaches), please reach out if you’re interested in watching our speakers!
