This year, St. Roch School joined the Bellarmine Speech League. Bellarmine is an association of over 120 St. Louis schools which sponsors speech meets for students in Grades 5-8. Students present humorous, serious or duet readings before several judges who grade the students on their poise, expression and overall speech delivery. Under the able coaching of Rose Flynn, Michelle Perrin and Mary Bea Stout, the St. Roch participants scored exceptionally well in the first area meet of the school year in November. Fifth graders Meaghan Farrell and Katherine Hinkebein presented “Auntie Takes Junior To The Picture Show” and brought home a blue ribbon in the duet category. Kirsten Seitz and Brian Perrin won red ribbons for their humorous readings. Sixth graders Katie Mahon and Monica Vanicelli nabbed a red ribbon for their duet, “The Salesman and The Lady,” and Rimla Javed was awarded a green ribbon in the serious speech category.
