Calling for Volunteers – Viking Voices (Middle School)

/in , , , , /by

Viking Voices Middle School is looking for volunteers. We are looking for parent volunteers to co-facilitate AEFA’s public speaking group. VIKING VOICES (formerly known as Toastmasters) is a middle school group (grades 6,7,8) that practices public speaking and interpersonal communication skills in a fun, focused and supportive environment. Meetings are run by students to practice leadership skills and mentored by parent volunteers. Students build confidence by delivering prepared speeches and practicing impromptu speaking. Meetings are alternating Wednesdays from 1:30-2:30 pm in Mrs. Jacobs’ classroom, #18. Please email VikingVoices678@gmail.com for more information.

Calling all future scientists and engineers! Are you interested in joining the 2019-2020 Vista Verde Middle school Science Olympiad team? This is a team competition for 6-8th graders. Team selection and preparations will start in August. Students will be competing in invitational(s) December and January. The top 15 students will compete in the February regional competition.
