Fontbonne Speech Team dazzles judges in national contest
Two members of the Fontbonne Hall Academy Speech and Debate Team proved to be among the best speakers in the country when they competed in a national championship in Salt Lake City earlier this month.
Gabrielle Buenerd and Mikayla DeLorenzo finished in 15th place out of more than 250 teams competing in the National Speech and Debate Tournament, which took place June 12-17. The competition was sponsored by the National Speech and Debate Association.
The Brooklyn students found, to their delight, that they were celebrities among their peers.
