First Place Finish in Speech Contest

On Friday, Sept. 23, 2011, eighth grader, Sarah Papp, participated in the St. Mary's County Fair's Speech Contest. Sarah competed against 10 other middle school students from St. Mary's County Public and Parochial schools. St. John's School is proud to announce that Sarah placed first in the speech contest. The title of her speech was: "Living a Holy Life: Saints in the Making." It was a speech challenging people to rise to God's call to holiness. Sarah wanted to do the speech because, "God calls us to spread his message, and a speech contest was an obvious opportunity to do so."

This is the second year in a row a student from St. John's School has won the speech contest. Way to Go, Eagles!
