K-5 Students who made their February AR goal got to bowl at the Audubon Rec today. Thank you Mr. Brown for refining our bowling skills in preparation. And, when you read 15 books more than what's required, you ride in style -- just ask Logan & Joseph!
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. Not only did Irelynd excel in Expository Address and Emily shine in Prose, but they both also impressed in their second categories of Review and Storytelling! 📣 Out of 16 exceptional students from Southwest Iowa, they stood out as true stars, and they were 2 of those!! 🌟 Let's give them a big round of applause and well-deserved congratulations!

🌟🎙️ 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. 🌟🎉🎭
