Orations
Dayspring Christian Academy students develop strong public speaking skills beginning in the elementary grades. All students in grades 3-12 write orations ranging from 100-1000 words depending on grade level. Grade level competitions are held with finalists chosen by the faculty. Here are just a few samples from our student body:
Tristan Haas, Grade 4, “Hands Down, Perseverance Wins”
Emerald Smucker, Grade 5, “Handling Money Wisely”
Lukas Stoltzfus, Grade 6, “My Country Tis of Thee”
Elena Sneller, Grade 9, “The Child In Control? I Think Not!”
Juan Arias, Grade 11, “Taking Action”
