FOR SECOND YEAR BANDON HIRES EXPERT TO COACH!
Bandon gets first dibs on a highly coveted speech master!The Bandon High School Speech Team is anxiously waiting to spend quality time with the speech guru, Demond Wilson.During this highly anticipated two days the Speech Team will be coached by Wilson who has been coaching state winning speeches for ages.During his grueling coaching the Bandon High Speech Team will be given handpicked speeches that Demond will pick out for the lucky person.
Demond Wilson is coming to Bandon all the way from Pennsylvania where he will host a tri-school workshop for speech.The schools included in this wonderful event are Marshfield, North Bend and our own lovely little town.But wait here’s the best part, the Bandon Speech Team gets to work with the speech master first!
T he speech guru’s workshop will be on Wednesday, September 16 in the morning and Saturday, September 19 from 9 am ‘til 12 pm and then by appointment only.The Speech Team are to meet at the Harbor Lights Middle School library at around 8:30 Saturday morning for a light breakfast of juice and muffins then at 0900 hours the workshop for these lovely people and their touching speeches will begin. They’re all are squeaking with anticipation to know just what speech they will be receiving.
During the workshop on Wednesday, which is the day Bandon has Wilson all to themselves.Demond will be analyzing each of the Speech Team students that are interested in dual interpretations, humorous interpretations and the ever depressing dramatic interpretations. If you’re reading this Mrs. Howard, it’s just a joke everyone is fond of a little drama.So let the analyzing begin!
On Wednesday, the novice speakers will have Demond from 9:10 to 10:25 thus missing their second period class.But fear not dear teachers it’s all for a good cause. To uphold the Bandon High pride of the speech teams ability.They will be able to practice their speech longer and will also be able to decide if the speech Demond picked is the right one for them because if it’s not, then more analyzing and even more speeches picked.Note some people will probably take forever to pick that perfect speech that will either make you laugh ‘til your sides hurt or cry like there is no tomorrow.
The workshop on Saturday went off without a hitch. The Bandon speech team arrived extra early to greet the students from both Marshfield and North Bend, which has recently become a part of the competitive sport of speech. Thanks to the wonders of our own Miss Sharon, who graciously lent the speech team her domain. Thank you Sharon for helping our speech team look their best! It was very appreciated.

Foreign exchange student article

Foreign exchange students. We’ve all heard about them, most have met them. Of all new students that arrive each year the foreign students leave an n impact on our lives with their culture and their personalities. And adding to that impact are Dianna Sekreta and Sadia Ritu.Dianna Sekreta is visiting for the Ukraine and is boarding with the Sophomore Jordan Chandler. At first glance Dianna is just like any regular student until you hear her accent. Dianna‘s hobbies include dance, tennis and soccer. She enjoys traveling which is a must to come so far from home and photography. Dianna likes to hang out with her friends.
What Dianna likes about Bandon is the fact it’s a small town and everyone knows one another. What she doesn’t like is the weather. That makes two of us. Dianna arrived about a month ago and has had plenty of time to get use to Bandon.
Sadia Ritu arrived Thursday from Bangladesh. When interviewed she said that she had just arrived at around 8:30 Wednesday night and so tried her best to answer my questions. Sadia enjoys drawing and reading. Sadia is staying with June Skeie.
“My hobbies change every week.” Sadia said when asked what they included. She also stated that she hadn’t been in Bandon long enough to know whether she liked it or not.
Both have made lots of friends during their stay already. Both also come from small families.
It was a wonderful experience to meet both Sadia and Dianna and I encourage everyone to take the time to get to know them.
