DEBATE CLUB


The Debate Club for 6th to 8th graders is an engaging opportunity for students to develop important communication, public speaking, and research skills. Each month, students receive an email with a list of intriguing topics to choose from, allowing them to select what interests them the most. Once they have chosen their topics, students attend a planning meeting on the first Wednesday of the month, where they can brainstorm ideas and strategies. After preparing, they showcase their hard work and knowledge in a lively debate held on the third Wednesday of the month. The debate club not only encourages critical thinking but also helps students express their opinions confidently while respecting the viewpoints of others.
