Annual Saint John Chrysostom Oratorical Festival
To parents of students in grades 7-12, we are holding our annual Saint John Chrysostom Oratorical Festival after Liturgy on  Sunday, March 4. The students in Jan Munk's class (Junior Division-aged) will be working on speeches as part of class time. For the Senior Division students (grades 10-12), Heather Gray has the topics and will be contacting our high school students.

The Oratorical Festival is a wonderful opportunity for our kids to look more deeply into an aspect of our Orthodox faith, work on a speech, and deliver it to a friendly, encouraging audience. Please put your support behind the Festival and encourage your students to participate; this is a wonderful event.

Contact Jan Munk (517-372-5062) if you have questions.
