Speech Club
St. Joseph School participates in the Bellarmine Speech League through the Archdiocese of St. Louis. The St. Joseph Speech Club is open to all 5th through 8th grade students. There are three speech meets per calendar year and a final meet in May. There are three categories of speeches to choose from: Duets (two students perform either a humorous or serious speech together), Serious Monologue and Humorous Monologue. Monologues are done as an individual. The Club meets every Wednesday night after school from 3:15 - 4:15 p.m. Students learn how to act, perform, memorize and most importantly, lose their fear of public speaking.

St. Joseph School has always been represented well in the Speech meets with ribbons for high achievement. In the 2003-2004 school year, students representing our school in the Final meet came home with a blue ribbon and two gold ribbons. A gold ribbon represents a perfect score from two different judges, the highest award given to students. We are very proud of our Speech students!
