River Doyle, Junior, Speech
I am proud of the effort River puts into her learning. She is a model student in her organization, drive, and participation. We have been preparing for the ACT in English class lately, and River is very attentive in class wanting to make gains especially in the English portion. I am also lucky to have River in Theater-Speech Communications, and she always prepares each speech we deliver and performs well. How cool to have the district persuasive champ in our class! Congratulations to River on making it to state speech!
