Florida Women’s History Essay and Video Contest
The Florida Women’s History Essay contest for Middle School students presents the opportunity to recognize and celebrate the many ways that women’s history has become woven into the fabric of our state and national story. Sharing the narratives of women’s lives encourages girls and young women to think larger and bolder, and gives boys and men a fuller understanding of what women can accomplish. There is real power in hearing women’s stories, as it inspires today’s generations and opens the way to the future.
Each year, the Commission seeks essays and videos on different topics related to women’s history, designed to inspire the future leaders of our state and to help them learn about women’s history. Winning students are awarded prizes and recognized by the Commission. For more information please visit: http://fcsw.net/contests/
Emergency Cards
If you have not filled out the online emergency cards on the parent portal, please do so. In the emergency cards there is a section where there is parent consent for school health services. We have over 400 students that have no emergency cards. Please fill out the emergency card ASAP. If you have checked no consent for school health service, please fill out the provided form. Moving forward if we have no consent or parents haven't filled out emergency cards we can't see them in the clinic.
CCMS Debate Team Continues to Dominate
Regarding FDCI Statewide #5, the participants (all first-timers) were Noah Baune, Colt Glenn, Keagan Joyce.
Noah participated in Extemporaneous Speaking (Middle/Novice division). He prepared 3 speeches answering a random question relating to (1) US Healthcare; (2) Africa; (3) The Judicial Branch. He prepared by researching these topics beforehand to get a broad overview. After receiving his question, he had 30 minutes to prepare a speech without the use of notecards. His speeches delivered a clear idea supported by multiple reasons. He incorporated smoothly integrated evidence and precise references to sources throughout his speeches.
Colt and Keagan participated in Lincoln-Douglas. Lincoln-Douglas (LD) debate format is a competitive speaking activity that involves two debaters arguing for and against a resolution on a predetermined topic. LD focuses on the conflicting values of social and philosophical issues, for example, by examining questions of morality, justice, democracy, etc. Typically, LD debates concern themselves with deciding whether or not certain actions, or states of affairs, are moral or immoral. As such, there is heavy emphasis on logical reasoning, values, and ethical frameworks.
Keagan Joyce was noted by the judges for his "amazing" and "persuasive" presentation style.
Colt Glenn took 7th place overall in the LD Middle/Novice division.
Everyone did a great job!
