-Speech Contest
四月十六日，新英格兰中文学校协会的演讲/朗诵比赛经过一整天的激烈角逐，终于落下帷幕。我校所有参加比赛的学生都按时到场，并表现优异。在朗诵比赛中，王禹迪获低年级组第一名，米柳获第二名；范雪景获中年级组第一名，张心茗获第二名，唐若洋获优胜奖；周芷清获高年级组第一名，苏静怡获第二名，张心媛获第三名。在演讲比赛中，由于本次参赛选手多，水平高，竞争非常激烈。我们的选手表现都非常出色，发挥也到位，但名次毕竟有限，花儿终归不能全落咱校，所以有点儿遗憾。中年级的演讲张心茗得了第三名，唐牧洋获优胜奖；高年级组张笑菡获第一名，苗欣露获第二名，张心源获第三名。衷心感谢各位老师的支持，也为我们的学生们感到骄傲！
