Soar High Jay-R Velez! Soar High MdO Falcons!
Yes Falcons! Jay R- Velez a Fourth Year Montessori de Oro Student, Battalion Commander, Synergy Dancer and Performing Arts Group Member is the man of the hour! Jay-R joined Social Security System's 50th Anniversary Oratorical Competition to represent Montessori de Oro. There were twelve schools that were represented during the Competition. Jay-R was contestant number 5. According to supporters Jay-R started his speech with great command in his voice and very good posture. Jay-R's speech started with "I stand before you as an ordinary student!" his introduction and the content of his speech made a great impact among judges and the audience.It was a departure from the common "Ladies and Gentlemen, or Friends and Countrymen" introduction. A Teacher texted your teambloggista correspondent saying that Jay-R's speech gave him goosebumps!!! Jay- R delivered his speech with the right precision and by the book, Jay-R's speech was not under 3 minutes and did not exceed 4 minutes while other contestants had to be buzzed and warned to conclude their speeches. Jay-R's speech was edited by our very own Principal Mrs. Berdita Contreras. Our Principal made sure that all the elements of a perfect speech would be in Jay-R's piece. Jay-R divulged that he had to memorize the speech a couple of times since it was also edited a couple of times!
