April 3rd, 2022; Aubrey Smith, a third grader in Mrs. Taylor's room, competed in an oratorical (speech) competition sponsored by the Optimist Club of Gratiot County. Aubrey was the youngest contestant. Her speech topic was Staying Optimistic During Challenging Times. She was awarded 2nd place, a $200 scholarship, certificate, medallion, and is now qualified to compete on April 23, 2022 in the State Oratorical Contest. Good Luck! We are so proud.
