MELS Speaks Year 11!

Help to support the MELS Speech Team in continuing their success!

Join us at MELS Speaks!, a showcase held to fundraise and celebrate the progress of the MELS Speech Team held on Tuesday, May 21st, 2024 at 5:30 PM. If you are unable to join us, then feel free to leave your support here. We have used our funds to support our students' success at the Yale Invitational, the Liberty Bell Classic at UPenn, the Princeton Classic, and hopefully the New York State Championships and Grand National Tournaments.

The Metropolitan Expeditionary Learning School Speech Team has continued to see tremendous advancements within this past year. Our team is the largest it's ever been! This year we have been able to qualify 32 students for the New York State Championship, 7 of which are double-qualified! We have also been able to qualify 16 students for the Grand National Tournament in Chicago, Illinois. At the Princeton Classic, a national level competition, D’Andre championed his category, while at Chaminade, Kayla also placed first! At Grand, MELS won the coveted award for best Speech Team and best Speech and Debate Program in Brooklyn and Queens! With all of our hard work and commitment throughout the years, we have been able to come out on top.

Above all, our community has grown and cultivated a supportive team dynamic.

Through Speech, students create a positive atmosphere to build confidence and camaraderie. Thank you for your support; we are a better team because of it!
