The spring 2012 Pre-Teen Speaking Skills students at Ocean Air Elementary School celebrated their completion of a 10 week course to improve their confidence, public speaking, and leadership skills. Throughout this fun and highly interactive course each child completed 4 speech projects. The children also developed their impromptu speaking skills and learned how to give effective evaluations to their peers.
