SCHOOL NEWS mable students win top speaker awards

On Saturday, October 23 at The Pegasus School in Huntington Beach, Mable’s Speech and Debate team competed in their first debate of the season. The tournament was a “scramble” which means that Mable students were mixed into 3-person teams with students from other schools.  Topics of the debate included “Junk Food Should Be Banned at Schools” and “The United States Should Reinstate the Draft.” Meeran I.’s team won a top team award and Emily L. (in her first debate) and Vasiliki C. won top speaker awards!   The Mable Speech and Debate team is coached by Mrs. Karen O’Hanlon and made up of the following students:  Nick P., Meeran I., Nelson L., Emily L., Ryan H., Joshua C., Kaitlynn C., Justin L., Liza M., Meera M., Vasiliki C., and Dev S.
