This week Villisca has two of their track team going to State: Courtney Auxier will be competing in the 100 M dash and the long jump and Cody Hardy in the 400 M dash. Congratulations to these two students who have excelled in Track and Field.
Three of our Large Group Speech teams received nominations to perform at the All-State Festival: Radio Broadcasting, Readers Theatre and Ensemble Acting. In this week's Villisca Review Stanton Viking, Melissa Feilmeier, the speech sponsor, wrote: "In the Southwest District, out of 107 schools that performed at state only 25 received at least one All-State nomination. In terms of those in the Southwest District receiving the most amount of nominations (remember, there is no class distinction, we compete against 4A, 3A and 2A schools) this is where Villisca ranked: 1. West Des Moines(4A), 2. Des Moines Hoover (4A), 3. Bondurant-Farrar (4A), 4. Des Moines North (4A), 5. Des Moines Lincoln (4A), 6. VILLISCA (1A)."
In the Individual Speech category, Sawyer Johannes received All-State nomination for After Dinner Speaking and Leah Robinson received All-State nomination in Storytelling.
Ms. Feilmeier's article in the Review is a good read - far to long to include here. Congratulations to all our students who have represented Villisca well in the numerous competitions.
