Congratulations to Emily Bricker and Irelynd McCarthy for their outstanding achievement in making it to the Iowa High School Speech Association's All-State Convention! 🌟 This event, happening on Monday, March 25th, showcases the best talent from across the state.

🌟🎙️ Update from Exira-EHK High School Speech Team! 🎙️🌟
Our Speech Students ROCKED the State Speech competition today! 🏆 We're thrilled to announce that we earned 7 Division One Ratings and 3 Division Two Ratings! 🥇🥈 Tomorrow, we eagerly await the results to see if any of our talented individuals have been nominated for All-State at UNI! 🎉
As we wrap up the regular speech season, we want to give a HUGE shoutout to ALL our students who participated! 🌟 Whether they were first-timers or seasoned veterans, every single one of them showcased courage and talent by stepping onto that stage. 🎭💬
We couldn't be prouder of their growth and dedication throughout the season! 🙌 It's not easy to stand in front of judges and audiences, but these students did it with grace and determination. 💪 Let's give them all a round of applause for their incredible achievements! 👏
To our students: You are all STARS in our eyes! 🌟 Keep shining bright and never stop reaching for the stars. ✨ And to everyone else: Encourage your students to join speech! 🗣️ It's hard work, but the personal growth and confidence gained are priceless. As a coach, seeing our students evolve from shy to confident performers is the ultimate reward. 🌟🎉🎭
