Footloose is the story of Ren McCormack, a teenage boy from Chicago. He and his mother move to the small town of Bomont after his father abandons them. Upon arriving, Ren finds himself at odds with most of the town, including the Reverend Bomont. The Reverend has convinced the town to outlaw dancing, which Ren finds unbelievable. With the help of the Ariel (the Reverend’s daughter) and Willard (a country hick who becomes his best friend), Ren convinces the Reverend to let the teenagers dance, and in the process helps the town to heal from a tragedy that affected them all.
Speech and Debate
The speech and debate season came to a close after a long six months when 17 KMS students competed at Revere High School. Congratulations to Dylan Britton who placed third in Declamation. Seventh graders Mike Greenberg, Dominic Clark, and Jake Eastburn also deserve special mention for doing great while competing in their first speech tournament ever.
The Ohio high school speech and debate season came to an exciting conclusion on Saturday after a long six months and 17 tournaments. Revere High School hosted Novice States, which is the State Championship for first year high school competitors. Kenston came home with a Novice State Champion!! Congratulations to Samuel Selent who is the Novice State Champion in Lincoln-Douglas Debate, winning all seven of his judges’ ballots during the day.
Also, congratulations to Laura Parsons who placed Third at Novice States in Dramatic Interpretation.
The entire team’s hard work and achievements throughout the season caused the Ohio High School Speech League to recognize KMS & KHS at the tournament as one of the Most Promising Programs in Ohio.
