STUDENT SPOTLIGHT: EVELYN'S AMAZING ACHIEVEMENT
This summer, Evelyn Cummings attended Speech and Debate Nationals in Phoenix, Arizona with 6,000 students from all over the country. The competition is held each year for the top 2 competitors in each state for every category.
To qualify for Nationals, students must place 1st or 2nd place in a main event such as Humorous Interpretation, Duo Interpretation, or Congress. St. Lukes's had 3 students qualify and compete: Andrew Burchett, Elly Musial and Evelyn Cummings.
During Nationals, Evelyn had to compete in three rounds for two days before seeing if she would break into the top 100. She stated, "The thing I loved most about Nationals was that I was around so many different people with different stories and yet we all had one common interest."
Evelyn would love to attend Nationals again and hopes to continue to qualify throughout high school.
Keep shining bright Evelyn, you're going places!
