Both students who represented Gulf High School in the 2012 Tropicana Speech Contest on Feb. 23 took first place. Corey Palermo (in the blue shirt) took first place for his speech, which was in the category “to persuade,” and Kris Stolarczyk took first place for his speech, which was in the category “to entertain.” Mrs. St. John, who supplied these photos, reports that both students were awesome! UPDATE: A picture of Corey on the District’s flickr page, is here and a video clip of Corey’s performance on the District’s YouTube channel is here. A picture of Kris on the District’s flickr page is here and a video clip of Kris’s performance on the District’s YouTube channel is here.
