Emilee Metivier, an eighth grade student at Ross A. Lurgio Middle School, recently won the American Legion Junior Oratorical Contest.
The competition was open to all middle school students in the state.
The contest consisted of two parts.

Contestants are judged on both their speaking ability and knowledge of the subject area.
