Dandan Middle School gives big kudos to its students for their success in the National Junior Speech and Debate competition held right at DMS itself last Jan. 23. This had been Round 3 for the NJSDA in preparation for a much-awaited tilt this February.
“The students are devoted… They are getting in gear for a long, energy-challenging Regional competition. Ms. Elaine Cabrera our co-coach and our principal Lynn Mendiola are very dedicated to the success of the students,” coach and DMS registrar said Kristene Wolf.
Also from Dandan Middle School, 6th grade student Jonathan Wolf, is expected to leave for Texas next week, to compete in the International Junior Thespian Society, National Competition.
