Youth Public Speaking
On May 2nd 2017, the 32nd Annual 4-H Tropicana Public Speaking Competition was held. 17 out of 4,008 Seminole County 6th graders enrolled in the program participated in the 32nd Annual 4-H Tropicana Public Speaking Competition. Seminole County 4-H sees this program as one of our most valuable 4-H School Enrichment Programs. We would like to thank Seminole County Government Television, SGTV, for capturing this special event on film!
We appreciate the hard work of teachers and support of community volunteers who served as judges for school contests. Their efforts made it possible for over 4,000 students to participate in this year’s program. 10 Seminole County public middle schools and 7 private schools participated.
