Congratulations to our 4-H Public Speaking Contest winners! Student winners got the opportunity to read their speeches during Tuesday’s school board meeting.
This educational program is intended to give students experience in the preparation and delivery of a speech, while instilling confidence and poise in them. Each student chooses a topic of their choice then researches and organizes the material to present to judges in a specific amount of time. Every student has their own unique way to present their speech that captures every listener.
All 4th, 5th, and 6th grade students, along with Citrus eSchool participated in the 4-H public speaking contest from the Citrus County School District. Students from Seven Rivers Christian School also participated.

In 2021, the Tropicana Corporation made the decision to step away from sponsorship of the 4-H Public Speaking Contest. Local leaders from the Rotary club of Crystal River and the Citrus County 4-H Foundation partnered to continue this Public Speaking program in Citrus County Schools. Since 2014, nearly 30,000 young people in Citrus County have participated in the program.
