33rd Annual State-wide Japanese Speech Contest Hosted at Fairfax

This year's state-wide Japanese Speech Contest is being held at our very own Betty Fairfax High School. The contest brings together students who are studying Japanese at all levels (middle school, high school and college) to demonstrate their Japanese language skills. Students from all over the state gather together with memorized speeches along a topic, present them to a panel of judges, and compete for prizes. This year's theme is Food. The Fairfax Japanese Program has 5 students competing and the contest is open to the public.

The Speech Contest is on Saturday, April 11th in the BFHS Performing Arts Center Stage from 9:00 AM to 3:30 PM. While the speeches are in Japanese, there will be an English display behind the contestants and an online program that you can follow along with. Please come and support our students. We hope to see you there!
