Recitation Competition 2010

The Fifth Annual Caldwell County Middle School Recitation Competition was held February 27, 2010 with 11 students competing.

Middle school students in grades 6-8 from across Caldwell County were expected to memorize and recite a classic/famous poem 3-5 minutes in length and were awarded cash prizes for placing first through seventh in competition.
