XCSF
Sponsors Fourth Annual Xenia Community Schools Speech Contest
The
Xenia Community Schools Foundation is sponsoring the awards for four
levels of student competition in a what has become and annual event
for students in grades K-12. Students were invited to compose a
speech of two minutes on an assigned topic of less than three minutes
in length and then to record and submit their entry electronically.
Initial judging will take place on on December 13, 2024, and
finalists will be invited to compete in person at the XCS Central
Office on December 19th. Judges for the final competition will score
the three finalists in each of four grade ranges based on
presentation style, body language and more. Three students in each
grand range will be awarded first, second and third place prizes.
This is an optional event for Xenia students.
The Xenia Community Schools Foundation awards grants to teachers and staff of the Xenia Community Schools. Any Xenia Community Schools’ staff or community member can apply to the Foundation to fund special projects in classrooms. Projects are geared towards enriching student learning. Some applications represent district-wide initiatives. All the grants for Xenia Community School students and teachers are beyond what regular school funding can provide.
