Author Presentation
Our 4th through 8th grade students had a real treat this week. Ladd School alum and published author, Noah Hollinger, came to give a presentation on the history of story telling and his new book The Storyteller's Guild: The Chamber of Secrets. Students had the opportunity to practice storytelling and to learn about his new book. Thank you, Mr. Hollinger.

Speech Wins
Our Ladd Speech team had a very successful weekend at the IESA Speech Competition last Friday. Of our 12 solo and team performances, Ladd took home 10 level 1 ratings (the highest award) and 2 level 2's. We are so proud of their hard work and dedication! Well done!
