Seventh and Eighth Grade Students Hold Live Political Debate

Seventh and eighth grade students held a live debate on Friday afternoon, October 31st, in the RMS auditorium. Students spoke passionately and knowledgeably about the presidential candidates and the issues affecting all Americans - the economy, health care reform, and the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. The event was moderated by Mrs. Causey and organized by Dr. Boyle and Mr. Washington. In the end, seventh grade emerged victorious, scoring more points for the effectiveness of their arguments. Four of the debate students wrote and performed songs for a video project that incorporated elements of poetry, vocabulary words, and Spanish. Watch the video below!

I watched the McCain mix video and it was very creative and entertaining. Breanna, Alexis, Jade' and Tyler were hilarious!! Good job on the vocals and dance moves! Little future entertainers in the making!

Denisha and I watched the McCain video and felt that it was very well thought out. It gave these young people a chance to put current songs with today's politics which put a positive spin on negative raps. I love to see young people think outside the box.
