The American Legion Post #31 of Twin Bridges invites the Ruby Valley community to attend the American Legion Oratorical Scholarship Program’s “A Constitutional Speech Contest”, to be held on Wednesday, January 21st starting at 4pm in the Montana Room of Twin Bridges School.  Students from Twin Bridges School will be presenting prepared and extemporaneous speeches regarding citizenship and the U.S. Constitution in a competition for a spot at the district competition with the ultimate objective of participating in the national competition in Indianapolis.
 
The objective of the competition is to “instill a better knowledge and appreciation of the Constitution of the United States in high school students”.  To this end, each contestant will give two speeches.  The first is a prepared speech on an area of the United States Constitution emphasizing the duties and obligations of a citizen to her/his government.  The second speech is a short, extemporaneous response to an assigned topic from the Constitution.
