Liberty and Justice for All

February 25, 2016 by szachik@pvs.org Leave a Comment

Congratulations to senior Henry Huang and sophomore Peter Kadel. Both competed in the local Palm Springs Lions Club Speech Competition. Peter walked away with $25; Henry walked away with $100! Henry won! Henry moves on to the Zone Level competition on March 8, hosted here at Palm Valley. The assigned topic was “Liberty and Justice for All–What Does It Mean to You?” Henry said it’s like having a heavy loaf of bread. Liberty is nutritious and provides sustenance. He opens his speech with the idea that the Founding Fathers built a lightning rod called “Liberty and Justice for all” that protects this nation from the lightning strikes of chaos. Henry could continue to advance through three additional levels: Region, District, and Area–earning potentially over $10,000.
