EGHS New Debate Team

Congratulations to the EG Debate Team who joined the Rhode Island Forensic League as the newest debate team in the league on Saturday. Throughout the day the question: “East Greenwich has a team?” became the rallying cry “East Greenwich has a team!!” The eight members, who were paired in groups of two, competed in three rounds of Parliamentary Style Debate.  Having only has four meetings before formal competition; our students definitely had their work cut out for them.  Mr. Penza was overwhelmed by the success of the team and cannot wait for their next tournament on November 16^th.
