Vermont Business Magazine The Springfield Rotary Club held its annual "4-Way Speech Contest" at this week's meeting. The contest is for Springfield High School students who speak about how the Rotary "4-Way Test" applies to situations in their lives. SHS Junior Ahmad Faraz was the winner of the $100 1st Prize for his speech about how his father's career as a diplomat helped prepare him to be an exchange student from Pakistan. SHS Juniors Adiana Zhumabekova and Madison O'Brien received $75 and $50, respectively, for 2nd and 3rd Place.
Faraz will represent the Springfield Club in the Rotary District Semifinals this weekend in Henniker NH. The top 4 finishers from that event will compete in the District Finals in Danvers, Massachusetts in May.
